I’m a R&D Engineer II at BD, a large medical device company. I have 3 years experience in other industries in similar roles to my current position. I started this position about 8 months ago at 80k/yr. Since I started I’ve have two close friends with similar experience get offers in DOD and Medtech for 96 & 155k/yr. Am am I being underpaid or are their offers out of the norm? For reference I am in SLC and they are both in the greater Philly area.

I am no expert - from googling it seems you are in range. I would make sure you are appropriately compensated for market conditions maybe at the time of your next review. I actually did a search on fishbowl for BD (which is hard to find given that it can mean business development) as I was considering applying for a job there. Do you like working there?

Yeah I think some high $ offers I’ve heard of are a result of inflation adjustments as well (which BD has yet to address). I get the feeling I’m on the lower end in my location and our location is really lagging behind other parts of the country. I have no evidence to support this though.

In general I like working at BD. It has the normal large company drawbacks, typically revolving around specific individuals and some politics. My manager is really great though. I feel like the organization as a whole values people/employees even if they are struggling with some things at the moment… most companies are.
