The WSJ article doesn't seem right. Here are a list of the top paying companies by median income:
Chimera Investment
TESARO
Exelixis
Splunk
Equity Commonwealth
Agios Pharmaceuticals
Incyte Corp
Neurocrine Biosciences Inc
The highest paying software company appears to be Splunk with 256k. There seems to be a lot of biotech companies that pay a lot.
- refurb 8y agoThere seems to be a lot of biotech companies that pay a lot. Here is my theory why that is: first off, most biotech companies are started by very experienced people with impressive work histories, not by 22-year old drop outs. Second, biotech start ups tend to pay very well, often similar or higher to the big biotech companies. Third, the "virtual biotech" model is quite common with a small groups of leadership and everything else contracted out. Combine all that and you end up with a pretty high median salary.
- FuNe 8y agoThese are start-ups, right? The article is talking about Fortune 500 companies, not start-ups. Having said that the top 2 ones are pharmaceuticals. I wonder whether the fat salaries trickle down to their bioinformatics divisions.
- samfisher83 8y agoNo they are all publicly listed companies. I am not sure if private companies are required to disclose median pay.
