What has better WLB and comp, being a heme onc physician or climbing the ranks of D/SD/VP in R&D or commercial strategy for an oncology line? Not taking into account initial path to get to these positions.

This isn’t about the hours/comp, but about the mental aspect of it. Are you able to deal with death? If you get a Heme/onc to speak candidly with you, it can be a lot handle. I had one describe it as “he had to become accustomed to killing patients in pursuit of treatment” due to the lack of effective options for the tough cases they routinely get. Obviously not always the case, but just don’t underestimate that part of WLB.

Consulting has better WLB than a heme onc in my experience (I’m in consulting and my dad was a heme onc who was always on and always working)

like

Wlb will depend, but you can negotiate to work <FTE as an oncologist, which you can’t do in pharma.

You have a higher comp ceiling in pharma. SD is about the same pay as an oncologist (depending on practice), and VP is much higher
