Can anyone please provide perspective on compensation at senior levels in pharma/biopharma? For example, Sr. Dir/Exec Dir/VP/SVP, rough cash vs. stock split, and variance by function and company size.

I’m at a pivotal point ~2 years post-MBA, looking to exit consulting after 6 cumulative years. I’m deciding between biopharma, growth phase digital health startups, and consumer electronics (e.g., Apple), within supply chain or BizOps roles.

Having a better understanding of comp trajectory in biopharma would be really helpful, and Glassdoor isn’t the most reliable

Thank you in advance!

Glassdoor is your friend. These roles are pretty standardized across pharma

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
