As a current resident of King County, there are a lot of interesting biotech companies that have a heavy reliance on computer science. In particular, I have seen an opening for a computer scientist at\u00a0Fred Hutch, which is a cancer research and care center in Seattle. I\u2019m hopeful that my two different knowledge bases could give me an edge at a computer science career that still has biological aspects. However, I have been searching the job market and there are other interesting career choices I could make. Boeing, Microsoft, and SpaceX all perpetually have entry-level software development positions they are hiring for.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first got interested in computer science during my first degree as a biology student.
