What’s the nature of the work? For a newly minted BS working in the lab in this area, you should be starting at $55-60k in industry. Keep in mind you can start at $75k minimum for the same work that’s a short train ride (Down Easter) away in Cambridge.

Is this R&D, quality, clinical, or something else?
