1) Survey Methodology
The Clinical Professionals Salary Survey was administered online with employed pharmaceutical
professionals responding in the month of August 2012. Respondents were invited to participate
in the survey through links distributed on online and social media, as well as registered
professionals on our database. A cookie methodology was used to ensure that there was no
duplication of responses between or within the various sample groups, and duplicate responses
from the various sources were removed when identical contact details were seen.

2) Overall Observations and Analysis

The last few years have been fairly consistent for the pharmaceutical industry despite the
economic downturn, but this year we started to see some fragments of its effect within the UK
market.
Although not directly affected by its influence, the economic downturn has caused salary raises
to slow down for those that remained at their jobs within the same company.
However, salaries have still risen on the whole for the various positions within the
pharmaceutical industry, which means there is a great deal of flexibility still available to those
that wish to continue their career ladder at their next company.
This table shows loose comparisons between the salaries of differing sectors within the industry
and their senior positions.
For actual in depth looks at the different sectors, see their corresponding areas in this document.

As expected, the increase in experience usually results in an increase in seniority and salary
banding, as well as generally being happier with their wage level and benefits.
From the next graph you can see that at about the 50,000 pa level, you have a switch in those
that are happy with their salary and those that are not. When we investigated this further with
their level of benefits (including bonuses), we found that it was the best point to aim for when in
the lower bands in order to have a gratifying career ladder.
Those we later talked to in depth whilst recruiting for them, found that being able to identify the
positions with this salary banding (within their sector) and therefore the career path required to
get there, meant they were much more successful in reaching this step in their profession than if
they had aimed directly for the higher salary.

For each sector we have detailed you will be able to see the levels and job
titles most associated with this career sweet spot (the salary banding
switch point - SBSP), and therefore an ideal target if in lower bandings, or a
recognised point if above that allows you to show your sought after skills
and experience that continue to be highly valued by the industry.
Since the different sectors in pharma can vary in this way, we are happy to
break any areas down further upon request, especially if you would like to
know an accurate SBSP for your particular expertise.

3a) Clinical Research

The table below shows average salaries for clinical research job titles across all levels of
experience. This shows how salaries generally increase as the role gains in seniority.

The results of the average salary by experience show that as experience increases, salary levels
also rise to reflect the greater knowledge gain about the industry by the individual. Although the
initial increase is fairly steady, there is a big difference once employees have over five years
experience.

The experience in industry table shows that director and management roles have higher salaries
than those in less senior roles with the same level of experience.
Over the years, it will be interesting to note and compare how these levels change with inflation
and global economic situations, and what sort of differences can be observed between the UK
and Eurozone markets.

Of the people surveyed, 54.0% thought that their salary reflected their
level of experience.
Within the clinical research sector, most respondents were within the 40
60k salary range, with respondents who earned over 40k generally being
more satisfied with their salary than those earning less than 40k.

The clinical research sector has fairly average salary and benefits when
compared to other sectors that were surveyed in the salary survey.
Future salary surveys can be used to compare the changes in salaries across
different job titles and experience over time, and analyse how any changes in
salaries or benefits relate to the economic climate.

3b) Regulatory Affairs

Although the average salary (by job title) within regulatory affairs compares well to other sectors
within the industry, it is important to note that greater levels of experience garnered much
higher salaries past the 10+ year mark.

When looking at the average salaries by industry experience, you see there is slight exponential
growth across all levels, not just from senior leadership or director level roles.
This does expectedly show that experience in the industry, and even in the same roles does
garner higher salaries. It would also be interesting to compare this to next years results to see
how inflation increases have an effect on experience levels, and see if they keep up with the
overall average increases of the country.

Its clear to see when you compare salary against industry experience, that as an employee
spends longer in a position, inevitable promotions can come their way which allow them to climb
the salary ladder further.

At about the 3 5 year mark, salaries start rising quite exponentially, with benefits and bonuses
equally rising in tow (not shown here). Over the years, it will be interesting to note and compare
how these levels change with inflation and global economic situations, and what sort of
differences can be observed between the UK and Eurozone markets.

Of those we surveyed in Regulatory Affairs, about 65% responded they were not happy with
their current salary level, with a majority of that particular answer within the low to mid range
salary banding.

3c) Drug Safety

The Drug Safety sector has a steady increase in the job title and salary range, showing a common
correlation in this sector. Entry level roles start at around 30k, and the most senior roles from
our results were 85k+.

The increase from entry level to 3 years is very slight on average, the majority of our
respondents were in the senior stages of their drug safety career. As we can tell from the results
there is a vast increase when you have worked in the drug safety sector for more than 3 years,
with the experience levels 3-5 showing salaries rising by around 15k. Nearly 20% of the
candidates that replied to our survey had worked in drug safety for 10+ years, with an average
salary of 70k.

From the results we collated, we can see that the entry level job title of Drug Safety Associate
salary will not change until more than 3 years expertise in this role. The senior drug safety role
and the management roles are similar, with only a slight difference in the maximum salary. The
Director role starts at 5 years experience with a salary of 60k with the most senior QPPV role
being the highest salary with 80k+, although you will require 10 years drug safety industry
experience.

Of those we surveyed in drug safety, about 67% responded they were not happy with their
current salary level, with a majority of that particular answer within the low to mid range salary
banding.

From these results we can see the most common salary in the drug safety
sector is between 20k and 39k, which cover the entry level and associate
roles. Over 60% of all our responses were on a salary in this range.
There are fewer senior salaries, but a higher number of 80k salaries suggest
this is the main step to director level, possibly from a 69k management
level.

The average salary by job title shows, as expected, that salaries generally increase as the role
gains in seniority, with managers earning a lot more than MSLs or Medical Information
Associates.

The results from the average salary by level of experience demonstrate that there is a steady
growth in salary as industry experience increases.
In comparison to other pharmaceutical sectors reviewed in the survey, the results indicate that
medical information and MSL roles have higher average salaries for equivalent levels of industry
experience than the majority of other sectors in the pharmaceutical industry.

received by approximately 90% of respondents.
Within the medical information and MSL sector, respondents were most likely to receive private
medical cover and/or a bonus.

The experience in industry table shows that although average salary increases as experience
increases, this is mainly due to respondents holding a more senior role as they gain more
experience within the industry. The table shows that the number of years experience in industry
does not appear to have a large direct affect on the salary range for individual job roles within
Medical Information and MSL.
There is quite a wide range of salaries for 2 3 years, depending on the job role, as the more
senior roles earn a considerably higher salary for the same number of years experience.
Benefits also increased as experience in industry increased (not shown here), with respondents
with greater levels of experience being more likely to receive a wider range of benefits.

Of the people surveyed within the Medical Information and MSL sector,
55.0% thought that their salary reflected their level of experience.
Most respondents were within the 40 60k salary range, with not many
respondents earning over 60k.

Overall, in comparison to other sectors, Medical Information and MSLs

appear to earn higher salaries whilst gaining the initial three years of
experience in the industry. After gaining the initial three years of
experience, Medical Information and MSL roles appear to have more similar
salary ranges to the other pharmaceutical sectors that were surveyed.
Future salary surveys can be used to compare the changes in salaries and
benefits over time, and relate to any changes in inflation and global
economic situations, and investigate what differences can be observed
between the UK and Eurozone markets.

3e) Health Economics/Market Access

Health Economics and Market Access has been a dramatically increasing sector for Clinical
Professionals. As we can see from the results, the salaries are higher than the average
pharmaceutical sectors. Entry level roles start at around 38k, and the most senior roles from
our results were 100k+

Director of Market Access

From the results we collated, we can see the entry level salaries for the health economics sector
is 20k. There is an increase in the salary with an increase in experience, including a promotion
in job title. The Health Economics consultant role seems to have the best range, with salaries
starting at 40k, ranging to 60k with over 5 years experience. The Health Economic Leads /
Directors are at the top of the scale, with the minimum 5 years experience exceeding 100k.

Of those we surveyed in health economics and market access, about 46.2% responded they
were not happy with their current salary level, with a majority of that particular answer within
the mid range salary banding with 2-3 years experience.

3f) Biostatistics
A fast expanding sector within our business, biometrics has shown large increases across salary
bands directly correlating with experience.
The averages may be much higher in general against most other sectors, but the positions are
much more competitive, and weve often seen smaller benefit packages than offered to other
areas.

When we asked biometrics professionals if they were happy with their salary, 43% said they
were happy with their current level, however a majority of these positive responses were of
course above the favourable 50k mark (SBSP) mentioned at the start of this document.
It also seems though, that this sector benefits from a much steeper curve of experience against
salary compared to most other sectors, which therefore shows larger incremental increases in
salaries when furthering their careers.

3g) Quality Assurance / Compliance

Compared to other pharmaceutical sectors, quality assurance has a more linear salary increase
in retrospect of industry experience. As one of the more stable sectors though, it does allow for
some better benefits overall in line with the diverse specialists this sector covers.

When we compared this with our data in house and got in touch with a few employees we had
recruited into positions within the industry, we found higher salaries than those that had
completed our survey, and a much higher level of satisfaction.
Although we saw this across all sectors we surveyed, the largest difference was for QA/QC,
showing an industry tendency for lower average salaries when remaining within their position.
