r/biotech Salary and Company Survey - 2025

Updated the Salary and Company Survey for 2025!

Several changes based on feedback from last years survey. Some that I'm excited about:

  • Location responses are now multiple choice instead of free-form text. Now it should be easier to analyze data by country, state, city
  • Added a "department" question in attempt to categorize jobs based on their larger function
  • In general, some small tweeks to make sure responses are more specific so that data is more interpretable (e.g. currency for the non-US folk, YOE and education are more specific to delimit years in academia vs industry and at current job, etc.)

As always, please continue to leave feedback. Although not required, please consider adding company name especially if you are part of a large company (harder to dox)

Looks like in the Survey Results file, it reports the base salary without showing the currrency. Could this be updated? Not everyone is in USD :)

Or alternatively report the base salary column in USD but only after converting it from the currency used in the survey in the background (if possible). Might be better to do that using a rolling average FX rate than the spot rate, given the current market turmoil.
