Hi - I heard back from Merck for a Senior specialist role! I got the initial screening call 2 days after applying which was May 6th. The HR said within 3 business days they would schedule a second round but I still haven’t heard back anything on when to schedule the second round! I have another offer from an another company as well but Merck is my top choice as I want to get into the pharmaceutical industry. I did follow up and was told the the Hiring manager is reviewing candidates and will let me know soon. Is this normal for Merck? How long do they take to complete a hiring process ??
Hey, any update on your process with Merck? I’m interested in transitioning from CRO to Sponsor.
Wow! That’s so low for an AD, specially if you are in NJ area. Is AD position equivalent to an SM role elsewhere in the pharma?
Yes, AD is AZ is equivalent to SM; I guess it might be for some other pharma companies too
That’s surprising given their 23bn annual sales onc drug portfolio. Would you be able to share how Takeda compares?
Takeda is pretty competitive in MA. You could enter a commercial AD role at around 185k. The short and long term IC is where you really benefit - both above 20% - in particular the LTI.
That being said, there is ~100k range between the high and low end of the AD base, so it really depends on department, year you started at the company, tenure etc. They will tell you the salary range for a role if it's not already listed and you ask.
Starts $165 in Durham, NC
Can you refer for role in Merck?
EMD Serono quoted 158k for an AD commercial Role.
