I looked into biotech before I jumped into an aerospace startup a few career moves ago. Did some consulting and everything to test the waters, which was compensated "ok" but like half of the hourly rate of doing something even shittier for Google or Facebook.

Besides the top heavy compensation problem, the other problem I had with biotech is that everything is swamped in patents, NDAs, secret patents, secret NDAs and in the US there's also a lot of spooky secret government bullshit. I worked on information security so I'm not that scared of three letter agencies, but in my short time dealing with biotech they were actually not letting me do my job, which had never happened before.
