Healthcare Pay Scale & Career Prospects
I've a call with hiring manager in Philips Healthcare. I am been interviewing/finding interesting positions in larger medical device Industry. To name a few : Medtronic, J&J, Verily, Philips, Intuitive Surgical, Abiomed, Abbott, Boston Scientific. I wanted to know from people in this industry about pay scale, WLB and long term career prospects. Given the uncertainty around FDA approvals and med industry constantly being pushed to innovate, is it a good place to be in? YOE : MS +3.5 YOE TC : 80k
Depends on the role. I work as a Manufacturing engineer at Medtronic and my TC is 140k. WLB is pretty good and there are a lot of opportunities.
Location and YOE? I've worked with Medtronic in the past for a year at Minneapolis
Santa Rosa, YOE 3
Had a decent offer from intuitive for sr swe but their interview process was very disorganized afair.
+1 To this, Intuitive's recruitment process is very disorganized based on my first hand experience. They pushed the interview by a week without prior notice and had unreasonable expectations to disclose minute details of your current/previous work even when it's patent application pending.
What is the role and where is it located? I'm currently at Philips, R&D Manager, $175K Base, 9YOE. Benefits are strong, WLB is great. DM me if you want to talk in more detail.
Did you get the intuitive offer? Is it for SWE?
Nope..it was a ME position.
FDA Approvals so you work more in the reg affairs side? MS + 3.5 YOE in meddev should be around 105k-130k for a mid to senior level RAS role
Rally, Verily, Athena and Oscar are the four companies I know of who have respectable pay-scale in Healthcare. WLB is generally good at Rally and Athena.
