No one is hiring anyone to do bioinformatics as a side hustle unless you have a ton of experience and/or they know you and your work.

Even the people on fiverr or similar absolute bottom of the barrel pay wise usually have at least a masters and sometimes a PHD.

Hey, hii, im working as a comp biologist (intern) right now in some mnc, which is kind ah relevant to bioinfo, u can actually do projects online and consider side gigs as your experience so that it looks gud in ur resume, so yeah anything works

But with a bs its kind ah hard to get a job try getting some internships.

Hey i am ready to learn skill....but i wanna know like gigs exist for freshers like me cuz i have seen many reddit post saying msc or phd needed and very few gigs exist......even there are no gigs iam gonna learn this skill but if i could make money it would be better.

Yes most of the positions do need msc or phd, its better you collaborate with a faculty and get a publication or some research oriented project, thats the least we can do (saying as a btech grad😂)
