Hi everyone!
I have interviews coming up at BD in Maryland and, coming from the hospital world, I have no clue what salary to ask for. The position is a scientist/quality role for microbiology research and development. For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?

Glassdoor and indeed are good sources for salary. You may be able to find the salary range for the specific role at that company.

I would look at Glassdoor and salary websites for a general idea. Also I would go based of your current salary. This is because a new job isn't worth it if you won't get compensated more. So what I do is i tack on a minimum of 3% for inflation and add an additional 10-15% depending on the roles and responsibilities of the new job. I make sure that this is in the salary range of the new position from public information.

Exchanged some email with a McK recruiter, but haven’t heard back since I sent them my CV.

1. Is there a hiring freeze in ME at McK?
