Anyone in medical sales? I'm an 'old-timer' but just for interest sake, it would be interesting to see current salary and incentive schemes. I am quoting 2002 rates since I left the industry after that:

Position: Medical Sales Rep

Type of industry: usually multinational in pharmaceutical, medical and hospital supplies.

Level: Entry level, preferably graduates in similar fields like pharmaceutical, engineering, sience or bio background.

Month Wages: Typically RM2500 - 3000 pm

Bonus: 1 month

Incentives: various schemes but usually upon achieving sales targets you get between RM5000 - RM15000 a year. Targets go up every year so in time it gets quite difficult to achieve!

Petrol allowance : RM400 - RM800

Mobile phone bills (business related can be claimed).

Multinationals usually pay better than local based companies. In my time job prospects were excellent, progression is quick if you are a high achiever but the demands can be very challenging.
