OMG I can’t believe I even visit this board, I can’t believe the uninformed people that post as if they are informed! Very confident IDIOTS!! Maybe you can’t internally “ask” for more than $130K, but I’m an external that had WAY more than that THROWN at me to come over!! I don’t know if it’s just hurtful for people to admit AZ pays people so much when they themselves make way less, I’m not a psychologist, but I wouldn’t be here if I was only paid $130K bc my previous company paid me way more than that in Resp bio. Why would I come to AZ for less than I was already making? You have to understand that no one selling xolair, Nucala, or the Teva bio drug was making less than $130K so why the hell would they leave their company to come to AZ for less??? That is simply the pay scale for BIOLOGICS, not for AZ. AZ had to be generous to BE COMPETITIVE to get already high-paid people to come over. I don’t know what they paid internals but they would have no externals if they capped at 130K. I made over 130K base 5 years before AZ recruited me!! Get a brain!!!
