Does anyone have any insights on what a typical Sr. Associate Director makes at Boehringer Ingelheim? I have a range of 170-180k which I think is fair but don’t want to be underpaid. Also, any information regarding retirement planning or medical/dental benefits would be helpful. Haven’t gotten much out of HR. Thanks in advance!

I stayed at a company for years out of loyalty and kept getting those "excellent work, here's your cost-of-living raise" speeches. It wasn’t until I interviewed elsewhere that I realized how underpaid I was. Sometimes it’s not about disliking the work—it’s about realizing your loyalty isn’t being matched with investment. That was my cue to move on.
It's been time.
They have higher hiring budgets because fresh energy and ideas are always valued. The current employees are usually split into low performers, mid performers, or high performers, or a percentaged variant of that. There are less people in that high performing bracket, and those are probably slated for succession purposes, so they get the higher raises or promotions. The low and mid level performers will either get a COLA raise or even nothing at all to encourage them to quit. But by and large, the big money goes either to high performers slated to become managers or directors in the future, or to newcomers that are meant to replace the current low or mid performing employees.
