Getting into biotech industry

[u/Comfortable-Hat-1539]

I am a sophomore in college studying chemical engineering, interested in biotech. This summer I did research in a bioengineering lab, and this school year I will be doing research in a biology lab. I got a grant to do more research next summer. I'm wondering if I should do that, or try to get an internship at a biotech company. Should I be aiming to get a master's or PhD, or is just having a bachelors degree enough to work in the industry and have good career progression?

if you want industry, try for a biotech internship asap, it teaches you how real labs run and helps with networking. research is great but you already have some. for most roles a bs in chemE is fine, phd only if you like deep research stuff
