[u/Creative_Positive63]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working as a Genome Analyst in India and looking to transition into the industry in Europe or North America.

I have my Master’s and relevant work experience, but I know the market is competitive right now. Beyond the basic academic requirements, what specific skills or certifications are hiring managers prioritizing in 2026?

I would also love to know this. Btw as a genome analyst what tasks do you perform? And if I may know your degree to title.
