Salary Guides for Biotech Roles

PharmaPayWatch now has salary guides for major biotech roles. These answer the most common question I get: “what’s the market rate for role X?”
Each guide shows current market rates based on real job postings from the past 6 months, including:
- Median salaries by experience level
- Top hiring and top paying companies
- 12-month hiring trends
- Management vs IC compensation breakdown
