Probably makes 7 figures working for big pharma though
Unfortunately no. I don't know any research scientists who even make 6 figures. You're lucky to break even 50k if you're in academia. Working in industry gets you better pay, but not by too much. This is true even in big pharma, at least on the biochemical/biomedical research front. Perhaps non-research roles are where the big bucks are.
