Since we are in a sales group I’ll answer the question as yes, 100%. I’m familiar with injectable pharma and have been doing it for 20 years. Total comp has never been under six figures but it can be highly demanding requiring travel of up to 90%. IMO six figure sales jobs are no cake walk

Depends on the role

Depending on the years of experience you have and where you are. I am currently in my second year and finally got an offer for 6 figures that I felt I deserved a while ago but that simply was not the case. Although president’s club and awards mean a lot, so does years of experience when it comes to pharma. I would not expect a 6 figure salary starting out but would make my OTE goal 6 figures.
