What should be the mid-point for an associate director level in big Pharma? I know the range (and it's wide), but interested in the mid-point. I just got a 4% raise on a base of $176k, because they wanted to get me closer to the "mid-point". I didn't even know that I've been below average.

Depends on the company. AD meant differently in different companies. Look at the qualifications. For example, AD of biology at my company = phd+15 years, AD of data science = Ms +5 years, AD of compliance = MS +10. But yea usually mid is 170-180, bonus 20% and stock about the same

we have 25% target bonus and LTI, wonder if that's part of the calculus. But it's still eye-opening to know I have been below average

194 is the midpoint at my company for my role. Jelly of your bonus and LTI. I got a big (relatively) raise at 172 because I was below the .9-1.1 range HR targets. This year was worse as I fell into the target range after that last raise.
