Company Talk Pfizer Graduate Placement Salary
Hi all,
Hope you are all enjoying the sunny days we have (occasionally)
I was asked to provide with a salary expectation for a graduate intern position( 6 months) in Newbridge Pfizer. I was wondering if 34-36k would be a reasonable expectation.
Please let me know what you think. Thank you in advance.
Ps: i have a 6 months QC student experience in an analytical lab and currently want to gain experience in a manufacturing environment

It used to be 35k before COVID at grange castle. I'd imagine it would have since increased from that

As an intern for the summer ? Anything above minimum wage is a bonus. The 23 month grand role is is 42k I believe

It was advertised as a graduate placement for 6 months so i wasn't sure if putting the salary expectation same as those 2 year graduate program would be suitable. and honestly like you said anything above min wage is honestly good enough since I am quite desperate for a job to gain GMP

Your number #1 priority should be getting foot through the door. Go for 36k to maximize your chances

Ask them what the range on offer is and make your descision based off that- never just give a number first as you could be selling yourself short

Were you a part of the graduate rotational program?
This is for a graduate 6-month placement, so I had thought that maybe it wouldn't be considered at the same pay range, but thanks for the info!

I did placement here as part of my undergrad and it was minimum wage through CPL.

You should be expecting around 4500/5000 per month in abbvie they used to get that . Stop thinking learning. You are giving your entire time to them. Cleaners handyman charges 50-60/hr think you are far better than them.

They’re not really, I wouldn’t listen to this advice. There is a reason it is downvoted. The most important thing for you right now is experience.

I don't know about Europe I worked at abbvie at abbot Park USA as a senior leader and hired interns and pay was that . I had over 4-5 interns in summer . I don't care about downvotes

I started on the grad program in 2020 in Grange Castle, as an Engineer with about six months internship experience. My starting salary was €35k and that was 6 years ago.
If I were you I'd be putting it down at €37k to €40k, but I can understand not wanting to be too cheeky.
Also as a note, I wasn't asked what salary I expected, I was just told the salary was €35k. But considering it was the pandemic, I was just glad to have a job, I didn't even do any research to find out if that was a good rate or not xD I went on to get a full time role with them and work for ~5 years.
