Lab burnout is real.

But most STEM professionals don’t realize the problem isn’t just the hours or the pay.

It’s misalignment.

You're:
→ Amazing at analysis — but stuck pipetting.
→ Craving autonomy — but trapped in protocol.
→ Curious about the bigger picture — but siloed at one stage.

The truth is:

Burnout in STEM is often a career signal, not a personal failure.

Here’s what most degrees don’t teach you:
 📍 You can pivot out of the lab  (without “starting over).”
 📍 Your skills are transferable (if you know how to frame them).
 📍 Roles like Clinical Trials, Regulatory Affairs, and Medical Affairs exist and might be a good fit

So if the lab isn’t working for you… It doesn’t mean you’ve outgrown science.

 It might just mean you’ve outgrown your role.

What was your lab-to-industry career pivot?

Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) Consultant | Science and Tech Innovation Funding Consultant | Visual Artist

The STEM jobs where you use science (but never wear a lab coat).

If you’re a scientist who loves the ideas, but not the experiments, here are a few paths that use your expertise in powerful, unconventional ways:

🔹 Science Communication – Help the public, patients, or policymakers understand complex topics.

🔹 EdTech & Learning Design – Build tools that teach science better than textbooks ever did.

🔹 AI & Data for Healthcare – Collaborate with engineers to shape the future of diagnostics, drug discovery, and more.

🔹 Regulatory & Policy – Translate science into frameworks that protect and inform society.

🔹 Healthcare Investment & Consulting – Guide strategic decisions using your deep understanding of emerging technologies.

🔹 Product & UX Roles in Biotech – Shape the tools researchers use every day.

These are not "alternative" careers.

They're essential to advance science. 

And they're growing fast.

I just found out about a life science career that no one ever talks about

Perfusionists.

They run the heart–lung machine during open-heart surgery.

The salary sits around CAD$90K–$140K+.

Here’s what the training usually looks like 👇

→ A specialized perfusion program (12 to 18 months)
→ Coursework in anatomy, physiology, and medical technology
→ Hands-on labs using perfusion equipment
→ Full-time clinical rotations in the operating room

How to know if it’s for you:
→ You like physiology 
→ You want a patient-facing role without being a doctor or nurse
→ You stay calm in high-pressure environments
→ You enjoy technology and life-support equipment

And the best part is, you don't have to stay in the career forever.

Many perfusionists later pivot into heart-lung machine sales or device-training roles, offering greater flexibility and strong earning potential.

If you’re a STEM grad looking for a niche, high-impact path, this is one worth knowing.

The best STEM candidates don’t have the ‘right’ background.
They have the right story.

And it makes all the difference.

You might not have the perfect job title.

Or the “ideal” degree.

Or 5+ years of exactly the experience the posting asks for (if it's not too technical, of course).

But can you connect the dots between your skills and the role?

You’re already ahead of the game.

Because here’s what hiring managers actually want to know:
🔹 Can you solve the kinds of problems we deal with?
🔹 Can you communicate clearly with people outside your field?
🔹 Can you adapt, learn, and grow with the team?

If you’ve worked in a lab, written a thesis, presented at a conference, trained a new hire, led a project, or translated complex data into real decisions…

You already have more than the right background.

What you need is a story that makes it obvious.

❌ Not a list of tasks.
❌ Not a copy of your CV.
✅ A narrative that shows how your work matters — and how it prepares you for this role.

This is especially true for STEM grads switching industries or leaving academia:
You’re not underqualified.
You’re just undermarketed.

Your background doesn’t need to be perfect.

 It needs to be positioned.

If you hate benchwork, you might love building.

Not every scientist is meant to wear a lab coat forever.

Some get their thrill from creating, not pipetting.

From designing tools that enable discovery, not just running experiments ourselves.

🔧 Some build software to automate lab workflows.
 🎨 Others design user experiences for scientific tools.
 🧠 Many bring systems thinking into product, innovation, or operations roles, applying their science brain to new kinds of puzzles.

I’ve seen scientists thriving as:
→ Product managers at health tech startups
→ UX researchers designing tools for geneticists
→ Data scientists supporting clinical trials
→ Innovation leads the shaping of future R&D strategy

Because some people build experiments, others build the systems that enable experiments.

If you're a scientist who loves the why, but not the wet lab, there's a whole world of "building" waiting for you.

Science trains you to be exact and granular (until it’s time to talk about yourself in an interview).

And that’s exactly why so many science grads bomb interviews. 

They know the data.
They’ve published the results.
They’ve spent years training their brains to focus on accuracy.

But when it comes to communicating value in a job interview?
❌ They go vague.
❌ They list tasks.
❌ They give a timeline instead of a takeaway.

“I worked on X, then I did Y, and then I presented at Z…”

Interviewers aren’t grading your research.

They’re searching for impact.

If you want to stand out, you have to translate your work (not just describe it).

Here’s how to fix it 

1️⃣ Turn facts into outcomes
Instead of: “I conducted protein assays…”
Try: “I reduced experiment time by 30% through a more efficient assay method.”

2️⃣ Frame your experience around results
Instead of: “I was part of a grant proposal team…”
Try: “I contributed key data that helped secure $500K in funding.”

3️⃣ Replace tasks with transformation
Not: “I taught undergrads.”
But: “I redesigned lab sessions that boosted student confidence and engagement.”

Your goal in an interview isn’t to sound smart.

Your goal is to show how you solve problems and how you can make your employer's life easier.

You already think like a scientist.

So learn to speak like an ideal candidate.

If you're overthinking the “Tell me about yourself" question, the real answer is simpler.

Don't list every degree and job you've ever had in chronological order 
(They have your resume...they know.)

This gives a long-winded timeline with no clear takeaway.

A better answer starts with something like:
“I’m a research scientist turned project manager, with a track record of leading teams and translating technical results into decisions.”

This makes the interviewer curious, 
How did you get there? Then opens the door to showing value.

Then, share a few highlights relevant to the role.
✅ What is your why?
✅ What problems have you solved?
✅ What are you great at (with metrics)?

And finally, add a small personal detail.

Not because it’s “professional.”

But because it makes you memorable.

✅ One line about how you coach youth soccer.
✅ Or your love for hiking.
✅ Or the science podcast you never miss.

It humanizes you.

And sometimes, that’s what actually makes people lean in.

Because at the end of the day, interviews aren’t only about checking boxes.

They’re about connection.

Don’t narrate your academic timeline.

 Tell the story of the version of you they’d be excited to work with.

There Just Aren't Enough Hours In The Day...
Let me free your precious time, so you can have more free time to live!

As the CEO of your business, especially a small business owner, you are juggling a lot. You're focused on your brand and providing the best services and/or products to your consumers that sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. You cannot grow your business when your time is consumed with the miniature of each and every project or issues that arises.



I realize you have so much talent to showcase, but you cant dedicate enough time to creating content, remembering schedules, and displaying your work.



As an individual, a student who works part time, or the owner of a small business, you have different mundane tasks everyday that eat away your most important daily schedule. This is why you need Onyx Virtual Assistant. When you hire me, and delegate such secondary tasks, it becomes possible for you to focus on more important, high value tasks on hand.



I do everything you would have an in-house staff do but at a lower cost.

some of this tasks eating into your time maybe business related like; online research for a product or book you want to write, lead generation, network building, database management, or administrative like; email management, appointment or travel scheduling, cold calling, file management, typing manuscript, and so on.



I am virtual, so you get to save the money you would have used to hire an employee; which means taxes and benefits as well as salary, and also not having to buy the equipment and space to put them, you only pay for work being done instead of an 8 hour lunch break and non productive time.



As a Virtual Assistant, I understand your your business thoroughly, you would see that knowledge getting reflected in each and every task.
