“Here’s at XYZ, you control the direction of your career!”. Except for this engagement that will hinder your chances of advancing you in your chosen profession. You report to X, who is a sub to Y who then reports to Z. Your work will be largely invisible by the time it gets to the client."

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?
