Mixed bag. Large corps may be heavily staffed with lots of niche attorneys. You come in, work your 8 hours on your 3 deals (that take 6 months, involve plenty of delegation, and your edits trying to win a Pulitzer) and go home.

Whereas your traditional IHC role can be described as “leanly-staffed organizational chaos” requiring “good-enough” product delivered on tight timelines

My experience is that brand name companies trade security for compensation. This is fine but it is not going to get you rich. For the most part (unless you make gc at one of the brand names, and there is only one gc at each company), the only way to get rich is through leverage (higher risk company, bonus, and equity).

Thanks

it helps alot, i got my current role with the hiring manager who continued to sing praises to other coworkers about the my previous role at another well established company

Great!

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.
