I'm in a somewhat similar position. Although my degrees are a B.Sc and M.Sc in mechanical engineering. I'm in a programming role at the moment but am looking to move on. I have been facing rejections for about a year and a half.

If you search for the role computational scientist (on LinkedIn for instance) you'll find some that actually look for degrees in biology or chemistry which might be a good place to get your foot in the door.

Good luck!

True, I really should focus more on chemistry/biology related tech startups. I've not been facing rejections for long thankfully, but I don't want to get to that point.

Good luck on your search as well, I hope you get a great job soon
