What would be a reasonable total comp to exit into medtech or health tech corporate strategy role at senior Manager level? The next level above is Director. Credential is MBA and PhD and 3 YOE post MBA. I’m assuming there is a discount compared to Pharma but is that true? I am thinking base + expected bonus should be at least $210k. Is this too high or low?. Thank you for your insights!

I’m a PhD + MBA who just exited into biotech at SM after 4 years consulting. My offer was $185k base with 15% target bonus (+$70k RSU), so that seems in line. They did they me that’s the top of the SM band.

@P1 What company are you going to?

210k seems a bit low - I’ve seen closer to 250-300k total comp (inclusive of RSUs)

All the big pharma I’ve looked at offer this type of comp - Amgen, Sanofi, J&J, Merck.

4 years post MBA at my firm is ~$375K comp, so I can’t imagine anyone being willing to exit at $210k. Again, caveating that this is strategy / BD.

IBM or Globant for the Business Analyst role?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role.

I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

Hello fam! Hope you’ll are enjoying your Sunday!

I faked my resume I mean my contracting firm did and I didn’t have choice and I got the job. Now my client wants to offer me a full time position. I kind of feel like they trust me with the work I’m doing and also considering my past experiences to offer me a full time and moreover it’s only been 3 months.

I know it’s a little unusual but what do you guys think/suggest me to do in this situation?!

While promotion to MC at my current company is at least 1 year away. The job is interesting to me and fits my careery goal.
