There is an interesting report in The Scientist, November 22nd, about biotech executive salaries. While we don't generally discuss salary questions on this site, I think it may be an interesting discussion.
Biotech exec's salaries have risen a great deal. I'll give you some examples below. As you read these, try not to get too ticked off. These are huge figures . . . While I hate to be labeled a "trouble maker," I would personally suggest that these salaries don't reflect the fact that postdocs and young scientists still earn very little in comparison to other fields of endeavor. What are YOUR thoughts about this discrepancy?
Arthur Levinson, CEO, Genentech, $23 million last year . . .
Henri Termeer, CEO, Genzyme, $19.1 million . . .
And the list goes on and on.
