Is biosecurity oversaturated?

Note: I am referring only to technical biosecurity in this post,  i.e. wetlab / comp bio, not policy roles.

I’ve heard that the ratio of qualified applicants to available roles in biosecurity is extremely high, sometimes 50:1 or more, both for entry-level and more senior technical positions. Is that generally true?

If so, what is the best way for someone to currently contribute to the field? Is waiting for more opportunities to open up really the only reasonable response?

Also, do people think there are good reasons to believe that many more opportunities will open up soon? For example, are major philanthropists or funders beginning to pivot more seriously toward supporting biosecurity work?
