I've been working in pharma for 5 years and was promoted to AD in 2019 without a pay raise. I am looking for new opportunities now since I'm underpaid. I have strong client relation and leadership skills. Should I be looking for mid or senior level positions? Is senior AD the next level?

5 years is a long time especially in pharma. You should be a senior AD making 6 figures or close to it already.

Thank you for the insight!

Senior at most places.

Sr AD at 90-95k seems right

95k to 100k is actually right. Don’t accept less than that.

At your level it's not about management skills, it's about your book. Get honest feedback on it. Make it better. Repeat. When ready shop it and go get the money. Be ready to reevaluate your worth if your book isn't good enough.

You should be at least a Sr AD and making 95K at the LOWEST.

Other than trial and error and general experience, what have been your best resources for learning about industry rules and regulations and advising clients when they make requests outside of that?
All my clients have regulatory and legal experts in house, but I find that sometimes hierarchical politics and upper management can stop them from fully embracing that role.
