I’m also curious if the opposite. I know at JNJ for the same level job R&D gets paid significantly more. Not sure if that’s the same at other pharma companies

Thank you for your comment. I am in similar sized pharma, basically everyone gets the same salary if you are the same level. I am trying to jump from L5 to L6. In my organisation it is very competitive but I get some traction in commercial section.

Also considering between R&D and commercial. Would love to hear perspectives from folks

Thanks for sharing. Just keep in mind, depend on what you do in commercial, there may be much less change than you thought - the work might be repetitive when you get to sales operation, launch prep, etc

Im in R&D and people always make it sound like commercial folks get paid more, not sure if it's true or not. But I feel like commercial people do get promoted faster to senior positions, wonder if it's true in other places.

Are you in research or development? I heard development pay is comparable to commercial

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d.
