“What makes a position better? Pay, power/control, opportunity and a few other factors makes us perceive some positions are better than others regardless of one’s inclination.”
The two jobs you were asking about are both well-compensated senior professional positions. This is not comparing the VP of a pharma company to the janitor or cafeteria worker. I stand by what I said.
What’s "better? Being an investment banker or a senior Vice President at a PR agency? Being a VP at a biotech company or chief counsel for the same company? These are just vague, non-answerable questions.
