Salary - Internal Candidates versus External

Looking for an honest answer here please. What’s the average expected base salary for an an external candidate with awards?

Is it more or equal to an internal candidate?

Thanks

 

I forgot to add. For a Cardiovascular specialty position.

 

that's a stupid and broad question
go fuck yourself

 

You also forgot to add that you’re an asshole

 

Poor you. It’s hard going thru life so unhappy. I hope things get better for you and you become a decent human being.

 

It is essential that you seek mental help please. There is something wrong with you internally and that is why you are such an unhealthy person. I hope you get the help you need. Take care

 

People need to relax man...why have we all become so confrontational over the simplest of discussions? If you have some CV experience I would say somewhere between 104K-116K salary w around a 28K incentive.

 

Thank you very much. Appreciate it. There’s simply something wrong with the two people that posted their childish comments. I sincerely do hope they get the help they need.

 

this sounds about right. I’m in resp specialty and I’m in that exact range.

 

Okay, thank you very much. I appreciate it.

 

Why is resp specialty making more money that primary care when primary care is in fact doing their job? There are more primary care reps calling on the specialist that the specialty team.

 

Because we are special

 

that’s hysterical!!

well let’s see. First of all it’s a promoted position with a higher pay rate and bonus structure. They have to cover multiple territories so that means they’re covering a bigger area and all of the territories they cover need to be successful in order for them to be. They are required to constantly be studying educating themselves beyond what training requires and have more clinical knowledge than primary care. Many of them were trained at chest in Chicago. They are primarily responsible for calling on specialists and having more in depth discussion. They are responsible for still promoting symbicort and they are also responsible for promoting Fasenra.

So tell me again how primary care is “doing their job???”

 

hahaha this made me laugh so much. Maybe it’s true in your territory but certainly not in mine. Our respiratory speciality reps spend ZERO time in specialty offices since they state they are no access because of COVID and cannot get in to see them. Hence they are pulling 0’s for breztri and it’s been a good 6+ months since that team was created.

Instead they are spending all their time selling breztri to primary care which is already being done by their 3 PCx partners. So they are getting paid more to do the exact job as PCx. Also they are not getting PC to pull through any Fasenra that’s a big fat 0 as well.

 

Every territory is different right now. But this is a pandemic. Comparing what is happing between specialty reps and primary care right now is certainly not the norm and the previous poster was right.

The fact that you can’t tell the difference between a specialty rep and a PCX rep is sad. In order to be successful both territories specialty reps cover have to do well. And with a higher focus on specialist, which is who primary care looks to follow, it is more challenging.

Also, if you think it’s such an easy job compared to pcx, why aren’t you one?? Why not go for the extra money? Oh that’s right, you either can’t get promoted or you’re too lazy to try.

 

I certainly can tell the difference. I started as an overlay many years ago and thats basically what the rst is with some 70/30 weightings thrown into it. While I agree this is a pandemic the excuse can’t be that specialists are all closed etc. at some point that excuse won’t work with upper leadership when they see the numbers and execution not lining up.

Also it’s definitely not an easy job and not one i would want because I don’t see the value or need in the rst position. If you have been at AZ a while you should know they don’t even know the value of the specialty team. They have created this RST team like 3 times now and every single time they get absorbed back into the primary care side so who knows if that’s what they plan to do again.

 

RST offers nothing. Same detail aids, now working deeper into PCP deck since they can't access PULM's trying to make the argument that there is a lot of potential. Agree there is but still based on individual RX's, much more so in the PULM's. This is called grasping at straws. And yes RST carries Faserna, but in this market since last year, guess how many RX's have come from PCP's? I think you know the answer. These folks will eventually be rolled back into PCx. They always are.

 

I can tell you that external hires at AZ generally make 15-20% more than internal promotion.

 

Our RST has assess to 99% of puds so it’s hardly fair to say they can’t access them. He actually hardly spends any time in our pc offices becaue puds is where th business is

 

That’s great! I wish our RST was like that and that’s what the position was created for to spend all day everyday in the Pulm offices because there is so much business there.

I feel AZ needs to take a region by region approach and perhaps keeps rst where access to pulms is good and eliminate positions where there is no access or in major metropolitan areas where hcp offices are not far from each other. For some accounts with shared targets we have 8 reps calling on an hcp with two offices in different territories 6 from PCx and 2 from rst which is ridiculous.

In rural areas rst is great because you have to drive so far from one account to the next.
