Agreed. Huge change over the last 10-15 years. My first job in the space had a view that obviously a mere software developer wouldn't be paid more than even a postdoc scientist. And as postdocs weren't paid all that well, you see where this is going.

These days more biotech companies are computationally/software focused. They understand that to pull in strong talent they're not operating in the same academic science world.
