How realistic is it to land an AD position as a fresh grad (with a doctorates) and a handful of pharma & FDA interships? Context: I'll have over a year of (consistent) work experience at a large pharma company and I have prior leadership/mgt experience (< 10 yrs) in a gov't role prior to changing careers and pursuing a doctorates.

Also, whats the pay difference between Sr Manager and AD at a large pharma company? TIA!

Sorry, AD position? You may have a more informed audience over in the Pharma-specific bowls.

It can be done. I think it might be better to apply at smaller biotechs or a start up. I would just start applying and see what happens.

Hey! I got an offer today from R@kuten for Sr Business Analyst of CAD $110K+15% annual bonus. Verbally in conversation with recruiter I had asked for CAD 115+10% annual bonus.

So if I negotiated one round and they upped to apparently what "the recruiter was approved to go up to" but it's not enough for me to take it even though I like the team, do I reject to the external recruiter I worked with first, the internal recruiter who provided the offer letter, or the HM who called to present the offer and who I last interviewed with?

I am going to counter with 100k and 8k signing bonus and provide them with my reasoning. The salary range on the job posting is 84k - 99k - 109k. Is 8k more insulting? Should I ask for 102k? The recruiter told me they are targeting low 90s when we first started talking, fyi. I also heard this company doesn't do signing bonuses so we will see about that.

Thanks
