Biogen comp is lagging the market badly

Company: Biogen

I went through a comp benchmarking exercise and I'm getting paid about 12-15% below what reps with my experience are pulling at AstraZeneca and Lilly right now.

Same therapeutic area, same call point complexity.

Biogen hasn't done a meaningful base adjustment in two years.

The bonus math also feels off — target is stated at 15% but actual payouts have been 9-11% for most of the team two years running.

I like the science and my manager is great but money is money.

Starting to take calls.

If you're negotiating an offer from Biogen, push hard on base — they have more room than the first number suggests.
