Get promoted as long as don't screw up

GSK (start 2015) - no 13th month
Year 1: 3.5k
Year 2: 3.7k
Year 3: 3.9k, normally get 1 promotion (10% increment) 4.3k
Year 4: 4.5k
Year 5: 4.7k, got another promotion (12%) 5.2k
Good performance can get promotion every 1.5 years, so in 5 years can get 3 promotions would make it 5.8k but i was not good enough.
Year 6: jump to Pfizer 6k starting

My take is it s mostly the same for same industry, the difference is not much once you consider bonuses, benefits.
May I know what position are you in? Process Eng, Production Eng, Maintenance, Technician, etc. MSD is advertising 5,000 to 7,000 for 3 years experience PTO Engineer though...

What are the prospect of Process Engineer in Pharma other than going the typical route: senior engineer>lead>manager>head>associate director>director?

Which Pharma pay the most? Is it common for Process Engineer to jump within Pharma?

Thanks! From a graduating junior who needs career advice in Pharma...
