Another example of how starting salaries here are a disgrace.Check out the “New to Gilead – Need Feedback” thread.
One of the new PrEP reps mentioned getting $145K & negotiating up to $148K. That’s for a small territory with no overnights.
Just for comparison: the FAS salary range caps at $149K, even though FAS roles come with far more territory, travel, and potential overnight responsibility.
Something to keep in mind before agreeing to 149K.
That is PS Prep reps which required 5-10yrs of exp.Check out the “New to Gilead – Need Feedback” thread.

There’s strength in numbers. Everyone applying should hold the line at $165K–$170K minimum. And be ready to say no if they won’t budge.
