Hi folks, I am considering an opportunity that will involve relocating to Amgen at Thousand Oaks, CA.

Any insights on salary range for Principal Scientist and Senior Principal Scientist?

Currently I am located in Spring House, PA. I can imagine the cost of living (primarily housing) will be much more expensive.

Thanks very much for any insights!!

Do you want to move to SoCal? I love the area, but there’s a ton more pharma in the Philly area where you are currently. And yes col and housing much more affordable.

I know this is an old thread but I just gotta say Thousand Oaks is beautiful. If you’re not trying to optimize for savings and you enjoy the area, definitely consider it

Congratulations on your new opportunities 😃

Housing costs are always going to be at least 200% more unless you hit the jackpot and find some enclave of affordable property.

I would Zillow research the area. I am the the east coast and had an opportunity for a job in California and once I researched the housing in commuting area , I realized I couldn’t do it. Housing is insane in most of California.

In the 1000 oaks area ( Westlake) a single br will be around 2400. If you’re a family man , you can consider moorpark, west lake village, or agoura hills. If not you can consider sharing a place or in a shady simi valley. This is not the problem. Amgen is notorious for being slow in hiring folks. People can live on 130k with adjustments in this area

For sr. Principal scientist it should be in the neighborhood of 200/250k

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

I am currently working for a city and have been with my current position for about a year. Work-life balance and colleagues are great. I came from private practice prior to my current position. There’s a strong demand for laterals now; and I am thinking about going back to private practice because current salary is substantially lower (about 40% lower) than what I can get in private practice. Has anyone here thought about going back to private practice for the salary boost? 

My yearly appraisal in on the way. I worked for the same client for the last year but in 3 different projects. I received client appreciations in all 3 projects and in addition I also helped my account in creating proposals, etc. What should I expect in terms of rating and monitory appraisal.
