u/Dr--Neo

Pfizer are offering a Graduate Trainee – Medical Affairs programme.

The role is 2 years fixed term but salary is £35k.

The requirements for doctors was completion of foundation training, same for pharmacists and then was also open to life science degrees.

I don't understand how the salary is so low for a doctor. I feel by putting graduate on there they are trying to pay under market.

Has anyone made this transition? Is Medical Affairs a realistic path to senior/director level compensation? And is this salary reasonable given the medical degree requirement?

Any advice hugely appreciated.
