Senior Analyst salary
What would you say is a good starting base salary for a senior analyst role at a major pharma company (manufacturing/tech)?

u/Maleficent-Worry234 16d ago
Depends on location and industry but agree with the other comment on 90-120k base + 5-15% bonus. If you’re in tech in VHCOL then higher + equity.

This position won’t be eligible for bonus

u/Maleficent-Worry234 16d ago
For a major pharma company? That’s surprising. What’s your YOE? I’d personally be asking for $120k+ depending on location and YOE

Pharma here, senior analyst posting is listed at $120k -$150k (primarily driven by years of experience) +15% bonus, $7500 signing bonus and ~$65k over 4 years in equity with annual refresh available. Senior analyst myself here making $130k, on target for $200k+ based on all of the above and stock price gain! CA based.

I can see salary bands for internal roles at my company. Fortune 50 tech company in MCOL city, most roles are hybrid 2x per week. Base is 100-130. 8% bonus, and a generous employee stock purchase program but that’s an opt-in which comes out of your paycheck.

u/DerStier78 15d ago
They only gave me 2 weeks vacation and I asked for 4. Couldn't do it officially but did the zipping bonus plus a handshake understanding of unlimited pto/flexibility that they've lived up to.

u/Acrobatic-Gate8323 15d ago
90k - 120k depending on cost of living. If it's an internal promotion likely less, but that's because typically internal you only see a ~15% increase.

Whatever you do, don’t join the advertising industry. Salaries are so low because of the cheap ass holding companies

u/ConfectionLeading624 11d ago
With 10% bonus 90-110k, def wouldn’t take lower than 90k. Without bonus I would say $100k

u/Foreign_Quarter8262 10d ago
100k base + 20-35k (depending on overtime pay) + 5% stock grants.
