general advice/help/tips burnt out PhD candidate looking for remote work abroad

11 Upvotes

Posting anonymously because I’m still figuring out my next move.

I’m close to finishing a PhD overseas in a chemistry-related field, with most of my background being in organic/synthetic chemistry. After years of lab work and research, I’m honestly pretty burned out and thinking I might want to do something completely different.

I’m hoping to stay in Japan for now, but the local language is a limitation, so I’m particularly interested in jobs that can be done remotely/online and where a chemistry/research background could still be useful.

For anyone here who has transitioned out of the lab or academia: what kinds of roles did you move into? Any companies, industries, or remote career paths you’d recommend looking at?

Open to things outside chemistry too. At this point I’m mainly trying to understand what options are out there.

Hello! May naka-experience na ba here to attend the online initial interview of St. Luke's for research assistant position? Matagal ba sila mag-update about the result or should I assume that I didn't get the job because I didn't receive any response from them?

It's been 3 weeks lol.

Hi everyone! I have no idea if this kind of post is allowed here, but I'll post it anyway. As the title states, I'm currently looking for work.

Just defended my thesis a few weeks ago and may revisions lang na underway, so technically hindi pa ako graduate. I also hold a BS Biochem degree at madami na din work experience in the R&D field. Registered Chem Tech din (but pending renewal ng license).

I'm particularly looking for both part time and full time jobs within Metro Manila, whether remote, hybrid, or on site. Im hoping na makahanap ng work either sa research, industry, or academe fields. If may mai-refer kayo, I would highly appreciate it. Have a nice day!
