I’ve heard CMC and manufacturing in technical roles is always hot

Quality roles are good like that too.
Especially GMP type roles.

What director level pharma jobs pay that much? I am a senior director and my base is $250 with 20% bonus and LTI/RSUs that you never actually fully get bc of vesting schedules trapping you at the company forever

This is super super low for a senior director to be honest

I am a director and my TC is in that range - I’m in BD though

Yeah my TC is in that range too. Medical Affairs

I’m a D1 and mine is scratching $295k between base and bonus.

Is D1 the same as “product director” or “group product director” and do you know how that compares to ADs or SMs at similar companies?The JnJ titles confuse me a bit

Dang! Gotta say Abbott is a good place to be in that case.
I make close to $330K TC ($230K base) at a director level. And I just became one.
I should have added that I’m in Supply Chain. I find my job for now to be quite solid. Can’t guarantee future though with AI and stuff.

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
