Interviewed for a senior analyst position, given salary and equity upfront, and was told I was obvious candidate and qualified.

Got offer but HR apparently thinks since role requires 4 YOE, I don't qualify for senior position and thus the salary and equity bands are ~10% less.

Is this red flag? Or is this typical HR bullshit I should respect? How hard is it for a mid size company to make exceptions, or am I being given the runaround?

It should be the team who decides this. HR in most cases is more process manager and early round screener than anything else.

The situation tells more about the hr (either new to the job or not someone you want to work with). I would reach out to people in your team and politely express you expected the senior position. Their response will be more indicative of how it will be to work with them.

Oh…. They won’t promote before 1 year of tenure at the company since industry is slower… are you happy with that level that you will come in at?

The hiring team decided you have the skills they need and fit the role they were hiring for. If the company can’t make that right I wouldn’t want to work there.

What’s if you do an amazing job but always have to wait until the right yoe to get promoted? Not thanks

Also 4 yoe for senior analyst is absurd too.

Hey folks,

Need an opinion.
Which track would you choose for your career in the pharma/ biotech industry: specialist or generalist? Why? More specifically, generalist strategy manager of internal strategic and ops projects or specialist R&D portfolio manager?
Additional considerations:
* Not asking for myself but for a friend working in a pharmaceutical company
* They are currently located in Europe but interested in an international career and in an option with best progression potential
