I prefer wet lab work because I enjoy hands-on research, but the challenge is that most wet labs are located far from the city and often require overtime. So I have decided to shift my preference to dry lab roles

I choose Dry lab, because during my post graduation period I interact with my most senior PhD scholar he completed bioinformatics and working on his core related research. At that he told me as a bioinformatic student he learned some of tools as well as he developed wet lab practice. He thought me that while choosing bioinformatics we can versatile in both wet and dry lab.
