Given you have done PhD, it's fine. Definitely not overpaid. Could be 1cr

i see why the faang comments are making you second-guess things; those numbers are loud. but comparing a specialized pharma r&d role to a software engineer is like comparing a surgeon's salary to a hedge fund manager's. the pay structures, risk profiles, and value creation models are fundamentally different worlds. you aren't underpaid for your industry; you're just benchmarking against the wrong one.
