Biotech Salaries in Spain – What’s Your Experience?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing my PhD in the UK, but I’m seriously considering moving to Spain because I think I would suit the lifestyle there more. However, I’m aware that salaries in the biotech sector tend to be lower compared to the UK, and I’d like to get a better idea of what to expect.

If you’re working in biotech/pharma in Spain, could you share:

  • Your current salary and location (optional if you prefer general ranges)
  • How many years of experience you have
  • Your highest degree (bachelor's, master's, PhD, etc.)
  • Whether you negotiated your salary

This information would be super helpful in figuring out what kind of salary range I might be dealing with and how I can prepare. I read here and there that some people are earning between 30 and 65k euros depending on experience, but it's usually unclear... Thank you!
