A japanese friend who recently got a CS PhD in Germany and is doing AI work for pharma there said that when you get out, you'll get "much more comp than in Japan" working as a PhD in Germany, while still able to do cutting-edge work that's meaningful to humanity.
Can you please point to data that studies where PhD holding R&D researchers are more productive or acquire more breakthroughs than researchers with a masters or even just a bachelors? PhDs will focus on a particular area for their thesis, of course, and that work can translate to the corporate setting in many cases, but what about beyond that? I know you quoted Sumikura-san in saying that PhDs are trained for acquiring a wider field of view, but does this translate to R&D productivity, with data to show this?
ok thanks but with the extremely weak YEN and overvalued SWISS the Japanese drug companies may be of interest---just looking at them as relative value following the wisdom of analysis

have Japanese drug companies lost their MOJO???
I've not looked at them in detail but I believe that's the case
