What's the salary range for a director at the Gilead Sciences foundation? There is a position perfect for me, but I don't want to throw my hat in the ring if starting salary isn't $180-190k.

If it really was a mistake, no better time than the present.

I had the rug pulled from my initial project that was pitched to me when I interviewed. Ended up in a different type of project where the culture is extremely toxic.

Also it’s widely known a good portion of the team is leaving the firm for this exact reason in January.

How long has it been? Why did you leave in the first place?
It’s been 6 months. Left because the project was coming to a close and there were no opportunities for promotion until at minimum the next cycle. Managed to secure a promotion and salary raise at another firm so I left.
