Question 1

What is the hiring process like at The Broad Institute?

Research Associate · Accepted Answer

My advice to early career researchers is to work for a place that adequately compensates you (prestige won't pay your rent, and once you're here you realize it's not that great anyway), preferably has a union, and allows you to talk to lab members without the PI present during the interview process.
