How is life in Pharma? I am 10 years experienced manager and looking for Director level positions. Current base $220K. Do you think there are companies that can pay above my current base? Looking for analytics role. Prefer east coast.

ZS manager lvl pays $220k base? You in NYC office?

I just posed the question to all in separate thread. It’s been happening in banking and other consulting firms. The Fed did just print an extra 25-30% in M2 money…

To answer your original question, D base in NJ/PA would place you at 200-225k base. I think it would be a challenge to go above that.

Otoh, you’ll likely see an improvement in WLB knowing ZS…

Life in pharma is good. Analytics director level is probably not going too much higher than that in pharma. Maybe if you find the right small biotech that’s desperate for talent/willing to overpay. But just remember you can easily make up for base with stock.

Been with my current company 5 years now. I run my own team but have a micromanaging boss who likes to create chaos for me. He also exhibits stalker like behavior by looking up my family online (addresses, emails, phone numbers, FB/Twitter accounts, you name it) and driving by my house and commenting on things I was doing during the weekend or after work. I am fed up with it and am starting to apply elsewhere. I don’t think I’ll be able to get the same total comp though. More in comments..
