How worthwhile are the associate director positions in pharma / big biotech (role is bizdev)? Coming from a Boutique firm, 4 YOE post-UG; solid pay jump from where I am now and the opportunity is with a good company (brand-wise). What’s the downside?

Downside? There is none. If company is doing well and they’re innovative then there is only upside.

Pharma also has a lot of regulations/moves a bit slower.

No downside. Your comp will prob keep pace with your boutique consulting peers with less stress. I guess the downside is you’ll have to put up with idiots.
