The problem with finding jobs is that the work is far less translatable to other fields unless you take care to make things general which is not really encouraged in academia. As a Physics, Math, or computational PhD you can apply your skills to any domain with a few weeks of learning. You can't really apply PhD level mice work or yeast work to another domain that quickly.

And the pay is shit a PhD level biologist in a major Corp with you years experience will get paid as much or less than a recent grad at FAANG company
