Just had an interview with HR at AstraZeneca for an Associate Director, Market Access for CVRM based out of Wilmington, DE. They said the pay range for this position is $117k-150k max and the offer would probably be around $135k. Does this seem very far off? I know at other pharma companies this would pay $160-180k. Do you think the recruiter made a mistake? This sounds more like a manager level salary.
