Does anyone have any insights on what a typical Sr. Associate Director makes at Boehringer Ingelheim? I have a range of 170-180k which I think is fair but don’t want to be underpaid. Also, any information regarding retirement planning or medical/dental benefits would be helpful. Haven’t gotten much out of HR. Thanks in advance!
I've had a hybrid role for the past 4 years where I get unlimited sick days (well 14 really until fmla kicked in), 3 weeks of vacation, 3 personal days. I am also given the week after Xmas off. if my toddlers are sick I can work at home with them. Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

Unless stated otherwise in your contract, yes. There's nothing illegal about it. This is part of the reason why companies continue to offer contract positions instead of full time W2 roles. Less benefits to pay for = more money for them.
Companies can hire for full-time hours as an independent contractor. There can be some grey areas in it. I’d probably do the same and pass, just because that already is a red flag, even if they are technically able to do it.
We have a couple of people who are on our team as independent contractors and they have a little bit more flexibility but a lot fewer benefits. Honestly, I have no idea why anybody would work full-time without benefits unless they were covered under a spouse or something. Either way, it definitely happens.
It depends on the state and how they classify you. It also depends on how big the company is. So yes, it could have been legal.
