The Biotech Career Coach Podcast
2025-08-29
This week, I participated in an American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) panel discussion with Brandon Miller on salary negotiations. We answered audience questions that explored creative strategies for successful negotiations, addressing topics such as counter offers, flexibility beyond base salary, and handling 'best offer' scenarios. We also discussed the importance of understanding the entire compensation package, including stock and equity considerations, as well as maintaining regular feedback with managers. Brandon and I both offered common negotiation mistakes and effective mindsets to adopt for a successful outcome.
