It can seem very arbitrary, but in my experience over 6 years in two different biotech companies, I finally realized it's just a form of code between those "in the know". Biotech can be a very snobbish environment; they protect their own, and many promotions occur by poaching good staff from a rival biotech company. In other words, it can be hard for a new person to break through that tight circle. The worst example of this that I saw was when the Director of a new start-up company that I had been hired to work at, wanted to hire a woman who had done her PhD in his lab. She had graduated a year earlier and returned home to an Oriental country. My boss was begging her to take the position of lead Scientist in the newly opened biotech. The only way she would agree to take the job was if he also hired her husband who didn't have the credentials she had and would have difficulty getting a work Visa for Canada. There was no money in the budget for a position that would fit her husband's credentials and experience, and we had already hired the required number of staff for those positions that the husband would have qualified for. Long story, but through complaining, conniving and some other trickery, my boss was able to offer the husband a "job". He came with his wife and started working, and within a few weeks had so pissed off the existing new staff that some of them were threatening to find something else. The husband had a title but no real "work" to do and he paced around the office meddling with everyone's jobs - "you should do it this way", "just give it to me and I'll go to the library and find references you can fit into the paper" - things like that. Like he was the overlord and they were his go-fers. Biotech can be a very closed and non-inclusive environment
Agree. Especially when they start using word “lead”. Sometimes it is =manager level sometimes = executive director level
And they will tell you, “you don’t need a glorious title to lead”. Which is true. But again, title-responsibility-$ and career growth go hand in hand.
Yeah like if you're a Sr CRA with 10 years experience in clinical operations then want to move to the commercial part of Pharma, at what level can you expect to start in?
