I'm an engineer. I like pragmatic solutions based on sound technological paradigms. If transitioning to electrical mobility were really about climate change, logic would dictate simple, lightweight cars with as little gimmicks as possible, designed to minimise unnecessary energy waste. This mercedes was parked yesterday in front of my house. It weighs like a WW2 tank, it has a battery that costs a fortune to produce and pollutes the soil surface equivalent of a small country. It is filled with a myriad of electronic toys (all of them unnecessary to the basic vehicle operation -- that is, drive from A to B) that will be obsolete in 5 years at most, and is painted flat black, probably the most radiation-absorbing colour ever created - a brilliant choice for a car that, given its range, will likely stay forever in the south of France. Oh, yes, I forgot: its price tag sits between 75k and 100k EUR. So, this thing is supposed to save the planet, while my analog motorbike of 24 years is the root of all evil, uh? Give. Me. A. Break. P.S. and I don't even mention the huge compute servers required to process all the automation on board of these "connected" cars. So energy efficient, wow.

💰💡🤔 Lifescience or IT field ! In today's job market, professionals often navigate between diverse industries, each with its own unique perks and challenges. One aspect that frequently garners attention is the discrepancy in *salary* between sectors, notably between the biotechnology/life science field and the ever-expanding realm of Information Technology (IT). While both fields boast innovation and opportunities for growth, several factors contribute to the variance in compensation: 😎 1. **Skills Demand:** IT roles often require specific technical proficiencies in programming languages, networking, and cybersecurity. The demand for these skills remains consistently high, driving up salaries. In contrast, the biotechnology industry demands specialized expertise in life sciences, which may not always translate directly into lucrative remuneration. 📈 2. **Market Dynamics:** The IT sector experiences rapid advancements and disruptions, leading to a continuous need for skilled professionals. This dynamic environment can result in competitive salaries to attract and retain top talent. On the other hand, the biotechnology industry, while essential and impactful, may face longer development cycles and regulatory hurdles, impacting the pace of growth in compensation. 🤑3. **Investment and Funding:** IT companies often attract substantial investments and venture capital due to the perceived scalability and potential for rapid returns. This influx of capital can translate into higher salaries for employees. 👉🏻 Biotechnology firms, while pivotal in healthcare and scientific breakthroughs, may require significant investment in research and development before achieving profitability, affecting salary structures. 📜Professionals in biotechnology contribute to groundbreaking discoveries and advancements in healthcare, while those in 💻 IT drive digital transformation and innovation across various domains. Ultimately, career choices should align with individual passions, interests, and long-term goals rather than solely focusing on salary considerations. By understanding the dynamics shaping compensation in each industry, professionals can make informed decisions to navigate their career paths effectively. #Biotechnology #InformationTechnology #CareerInsights #SalaryDisparities
