Hey fish, I started recently (within the last year) at post PhD level. I’m thinking about moving into pharma or biotech since I don’t think the ladder in consulting is right for me long term. How long do you need to stay in consulting for before making say 150-200k base in pharma/biotech?

Hi Java Back-end dev (2.7 YOE) from Delhi Jio Platforms Limited Reliance Industries Limited for jio payment bank - 17 fixed + 1 (pf + gratuity)+ 2 variable - Banglore PeopleStrong - 18 fixed (it includes all the expenses) - Gurugram

Received a job offer today and unsure how to proceed. The role is lateral but with more opportunity to advance. The offer consists of a 17% base salary increase, a 25% annual bonus structure, and a signing bonus of 25% of my base. I feel that the offer is fair but the downside is fewer vacation days. I intend to negotiate the vacation time but as far as the compensation I am unsure if I should negotiate.. the offer is fair and I don't want to be greedy but I don't want to miss an opportunity
