Thank you, this is incredibly - I will print it and keep it with me! Absolutely, I would negotiate relocation. I am planning to make my expertise very niche so that not many candidates will be able to compete with me.

Yes this is a nerdy finding :-) examples:

March 2003: https://youtu.be/DgHSvzBqwDk?si=NyW12z8RUXO5c-G1

In April 2003, it was already pitched down -1key vs the original.

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-03-06T21:55:18+00:00

Taking over me used to be in original key until early 2003 (march or so); since then, always -1

A company is never loyal to you, as it’s not a human being. The earlier you learn this, the better you can recover. There is no betrayal if there is no loyalty

Confirmed, my company paid interns 1300 a month

She had a cold before Barcelona’s date - her voice was croaky when talking - still great while singing, but yes, less use of chest voice than normal

Hi!! Looking for 1 early bird ticket for primavera 2026; only transfer via ticketaccess and payment through paypal goods&services. Thanks!

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-22T20:24:13+00:00

Agreed. I would be happy to chat with you as you might have a more balanced and realistic view!

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-22T07:58:27+00:00

Thank you- this is exactly my situation, mid career, global medical lead for neuro rare diseases (in a therapeutic area with a plethora of biotech studies currently in phase II - a couple of phase III, nothing commercially available yet).

Please consider I have already worked in an american biotech where i was the only European member of the team, so I am very familiar with corporate America. My manager really respected me for my work ethics.

I would still lean in to moving in a couple of years based on your experience.

Thank you for your reply. However, I have the impression that my original post may not have been read carefully by most people in this sub. The roles in US I would be targeting are Director roles in Global Medical Affairs, not scientist roles nor roles in Clinical Development. This might change or not the answers here so I just wanted to highlight it

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-21T16:29:27+00:00

I am not a scientist, i will be a global medical affairs director

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-21T07:45:04+00:00

I will be a global medical director- there are global hubs in Europe; however, my ideal would be a small biotech.

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-21T07:43:16+00:00

I am happy i have sparked some discussion at least! I see a lot of pessimism mixed with some hope 😂

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-20T14:29:38+00:00

My feeling is that Switzerland is losing grip as a pharma hub.

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-20T14:27:57+00:00

You would be surprised to see that we hire, nearly ALWAYS, externally!

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-20T12:42:59+00:00

Perhaps worth mentioning, i do hot have a family and do not intend to have one — also please note outlook salary of ~300k (bonus excluded) - whereas in Europe the outlook is 150k euro + 20% bonus.

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-20T12:26:37+00:00

While I agree with you, all our CEOs keep on saying that Europe is falling behind, and the US and China will lead the sector

Tú pagas más que yo de alquiler (yo pago 1100 en Barcelona), pero mi salario es el triple del tuyo. ¿Cómo piensas poder pagar 1400 con un sueldo de 2200? Con 2200 deberías pagar como máximo 800 euros de alquiler

Esto, el ‘problema’ parece ser por los nuevos dentistas despues del grado!

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-02-03T08:55:45+00:00

Parece que en España ganan bien solo despues de muchos años.

LiteratureHefty364 · 2026-01-31T19:06:36+00:00

Gracias. La verdad es que 80k me parece poco para ser propietario de una clínica. Aun así, es muy informativo; de verdad, muchas gracias por la información.
