Pay is similar to other accounting fields at entry level. Nominally higher over the long run. Will always be viewed as a second class citizen though…

Hours are pretty normal. Currently work in ops and have counter parties at two top PE firms that I occasionally communicate with. They are very…average…

Hi everyone!
I have interviews coming up at BD in Maryland and, coming from the hospital world, I have no clue what salary to ask for. The position is a scientist/quality role for microbiology research and development. For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?

Netflix, Stripe and Slack seem appealing. But honestly, mainly because of the pay and prestige.

Been with my current company 5 years now. I run my own team but have a micromanaging boss who likes to create chaos for me.
