B2formal

Nel settore farmaceutico, i profili come il mio sono pagati mediamente di più.

In the pharmaceutical sector, profiles like mine are typically paid more.

Pronunciation

'Farmaceutico' = far-ma-CHEU-ti-co; the 'ce' sounds like 'che' in 'chess'.

When to use it

Use when you have sector-specific salary data and want to show that your employer is paying below the industry average.

What it means

Industry-specific salary data is more persuasive than generic market data. Italian sector associations and chambers of commerce ('Camere di Commercio') publish salary surveys. Knowing your sector's benchmark makes the argument concrete and harder to dismiss.

Mini Dialogue

Ho fatto una ricerca approfondita. Nel settore farmaceutico, i profili come il mio — con cinque anni di esperienza in regulatory affairs — sono pagati mediamente tra i 44.000 e i 50.000 euro lordi annui. Attualmente percepisco 39.000 euro. C'è margine per avvicinarci alla media di settore?

I have done thorough research. In the pharmaceutical sector, profiles like mine — with five years of experience in regulatory affairs — are typically paid between €44,000 and €50,000 gross per year. I currently earn €39,000. Is there room to get closer to the sector average?

Cultural Note

Italian salary data varies enormously by region: salaries in Milan ('Milano') are typically 20–30% higher than in southern Italy for equivalent roles, partly due to cost of living and partly due to concentration of multinationals and large companies in the north.
