All biotech jobs I've come across require at least a few years of experience specific to biotech.

I have 30 years of software development experience, but none with anything health related, so I never get a response from any biotech applications.

Where are you looking? Startups? The larger firms aren't really looking for those degrees with bio, at least in the SW side. If they are, I would ignore that requirement and apply anyways. Most of these firms have bad HR departments that will throw a Caesar salad in with the job requirements, lol. Just be warned, the pay is lower.

I've got a bit of restaurant kitchen experience. The Caesar salad doesn't scare me...

Yes, that's been more my experience as well (though I'd guess my profile is a little less compatible than yours anyway).
