[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a PhD in biomedical science and make $53K as a postdoc with almost 5 years post-PhD lab experience. PhD students make under 30K. I think our lab techs make around $40K. PI makes 230K and works less than 30 hours a week, and most of that is spent on Twitter.[/quote] Are you sure about that? I’m married to a PI and she works 70? 80? hours per week. She has some flexibility during the day if the kids need something at school or an appt but once the kids go to sleep she’s up til midnight, works every Saturday and Sunday, and is at minimum sending emails every day we’re on vacation. I’d guess none of her grad students or post docs know how much she works, and that’s to say nothing of all the extra side stuff, like being a standing member of an NIH study section or grant reviews for several foundations. We know a lot of PIs and they work a lot of hours. It takes a lot of effort to get to the salary you mentioned. [/quote]
