Hi everyone. I’m in a regulatory affairs manager role (3 years) at a big biotech company and am recognizing that promotion potential just isn’t here. I was in medical device consulting prior to this. I’m not sure I want to stay in this role or even at this company, so I wanted to cast a line (pun intended) to see if anyone has any advice on career moves/spaces to start looking in.

Do you want to stay in RA? Would you consider product project or program management? Those people get promoted left and right at my company.

like

I don’t mind RA, I just feel like there is a clear ceiling. Maybe it’s just my current company, but I won’t move up until my boss moves up. There’s really only one move up I could make before hitting the bottleneck. I work with some program and project managers, but I think they are very, very underpaid at my company so I didn’t consider it as a viable option. At your company, do you have any insight into the salary ranges? Everything varies so wildly across companies, it’s hard to gauge.

Maybe consider a different part of reg affairs? It would be a good idea to consider the aspects you like/dislike about your current role before deciding on next steps

like

You're welcome. Once you have that clear, you can look at other positions. I would also make sure to consider other companies for progression rather than just the one you work at currently. It's usually much easier to progress by moving company.

Hi! I interviewed for a Digital Marketing Analyst for an agency for Data Center and Telecom PR/ Tech. Since we are virtual country wide, he asked what my salary requirement would be for this role.
