Just to add an additional avenue for any people earlier in their career, starting salaries for research associates (bench-based wet lab work) in the Boston area right now, fresh out of undergrad with a 4-year degree, is $100k.
- astura 5y agoIf we are comparing this to the article you'd need a starting salary of ~$128,000 in 2021 dollars to have a comparable salary of $100,000 in 2009 dollars, fwiw.
- DrAwdeOccarim 5y agoTotally. With a masters, starting salary is $120k, so much more in line with OP. Also, OP is total comp, which a BS hits with equity and bonus targets.
