Is salary increase for Pharma companies anemic (less than 3% per year at places like Pfizer, Novo, BMS, etc). I’m considering leaving consulting but worried my salary won’t change for a long time.

It's really firm dependent though. Deloitte compensation doesn't really change much either unless you're a rockstar and partners recognize you. Even a promotion from SC to Manager gets you around $5k more, which is barely a 3% raise anyway.

That was last year's raise at S&O from SC to M. Flat across the board

It is true. Pharma is not a space you want to exit to, but that is a personal opinion. I will never exit to pharma even though half my career has been around it because salaries and raises are poor, and they are not quick to adopt new tech.

Ok thank you all. So is there anyone in pharma making $400K all-in outside of C- level?

Agreed

Highly unlikely unless your VP of corp dev / BD and you are closing deals. WLB isn’t much better during live deals, especially during big M&As

Drug sales guys probably make more than 500k, but you gotta be on the road visiting HCP all over the places to meet your target!

A few months ago I took a job selling internet service. Primarily, I work in the field, where I can make all my sales, but I have been kinda dipping a toe into reaching out to property managers via email. So, i have been trying to write a BASHO email template and I am hitting a wall. It’s hard to personalize it as a lot of the people I reach out to have no social media or are super hard to find. Basically what I have is Intro->benefit statement(one sentence)->CTA. Any advice?

I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
