Anyone working as Patient Recruitment Assistant?
Does anyone have any insights on what a typical Sr. Associate Director makes at Boehringer Ingelheim? I have a range of 170-180k which I think is fair but don’t want to be underpaid. Also, any information regarding retirement planning or medical/dental benefits would be helpful. Haven’t gotten much out of HR. Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't call it easy, but I do freelance grant writing for non-profits in my free time. I enjoy it, it pays fairly well, and it's nice to feel like some of my work is contributing to something good for others.
Luck had a big part to do with it if I'm being completely honest. I was volunteering at a community art center that was having trouble getting grants. I decided to learn as much as I could about grant writing to help them out and we ended up doing really well. A member of the board started passing my name out to other non-profits and work started come in. I charge a flat rate, depending on the application, and I refuse any offer to pay based on the success of the application (this is something I have no control over). Word of mouth has brought in all of my clients.
I help build websites and add content. Something I was surprised because there are so many sites now that basically do it for you. There is always some tweaking and time needed to make it right. I’m not getting rich, but nice to have a little extra coming in. I don’t even have to code them or anything.
