Venture, commercial strategy, marketing, continue on BD, search and eval. Couple of paths you can take

You work in BD at a biotech/pharma or at an LS consulting firm?

Yeah, if you don’t wanna be a CBO/COO/(potentially CFO), then i’d say venture capital is the exit

scientist, then project manager, then alliance manager

This is one of the entry paths to BD, not an exit path

I am a Certified Pharmacy Technician, with 21 years of experience. I work at an independent pharmacy outside of Charlotte, NC. I make $18.75 an hour and had to fight/beg for that. I do not feel that I am being paid near enough for the work I do. I am wondering what others in the area make, so I can go back to my boss and ask for more. I am so fed up, I want to move on to something else, but I have no idea where to start.
