Pharmaceutical and medical device companies are not just at the forefront of healthcare innovation. They also offer some of the highest paying sales jobs.
We’ve put together this guide to highlight those high-paying employers, providing a roadmap for salespeople aiming to maximize their earning potential. We’ll take a closer look at which pharmaceutical and medical device companies offer top-tier compensation for sales roles, as well as the percentage of reps within those orgs hitting quota.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking for your next opportunity, here’s where you can find the best pay.
How do we define “Highest Paying” Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Companies?
The companies on this list are included based on Median on-target earnings (OTE) for Account Executive sales roles at pharmaceutical or medical device companies with a minimum of 10 ratings. Data is reported by either current or former employees for each company, and is current as of time of publication.
You should always keep in mind that OTE is not the same as take-home pay, so be sure to factor in quota attainment whenever comparing this data.
