First: is it a high level? Yes.

Traditional progression looks something like; scientist, scientist II, senior scientist, principal scientist.

A principal scientist typically has 10YOE+

How much do they make? Depends on industry, field, or therapeutic area if applicable.

I am a senior scientist (so 1 level below a principal), I work in pharma, therapeutic area of neuroscience, I was promoted abnormally fast (I only have 2YOE), and I make $225k.
