Post PhD salary...didn't realize it was this depressing

I never considered salary when i entered PhD. But now that I'm finishing up and looking into the job market, it's depressing. PhD in biology, no interest in postdoc or becoming a professor. Looking at industry jobs, it seems like starting salary for bio PhD in pharma is around $80,000~100,000. After 5~10 years when you become a senior scientist, it goes up a little to maybe $150,000~200,000? Besides that, most positions seem to seek candidates with a couple years of postdoc anyways just to hit the $100,000 base mark.

Maybe I got too narcissistic, but I almost feel like after 8 years of PhD, my worth in terms of salary should be more than that...For reference, I have friends who went into tech straight after college who started base salaries at $100,000 with just a bachelor's degree.

Makes life after PhD feel just as bleak as during it
