What's the gap in salaries for commercial roles in pharma vs med devices? I'm guessing pharma roles are generally paid better but am curious what other folks have seen.

~25% for roles director and below from what I’ve seen (obviously small sample size). I took a senior PM role for better name in pharma rather than a Director role in med device because the money was literally the same and potential is much better!

Has anyone here successfully exited to pharma after 1-2 YOE? Currently an SA at a small NYC market access firm with a wide range of projects under my belt for big pharma clients. I'm anticipating a promotion to AC perhaps this fall or winter, but I'm at a crossroads where I'm not sure if I want to continue consulting to the actual consultant level. Currently make $100k with a 10% bonus, would I even get a higher salary in industry at this stage? Also might be worth noting I have an MPH. Thanks!
