Updated June 5, 2017

The link in the original post broke.

I checked on SimplyHired again. It wasn't very easy this time. From the only piece of info that they share, they estimate the salary range to be $52,000 - $72,000.

Do you believe this figure for the average salary for a California Pharmacy Designated Representative?

I searched www.SimplyHired.com using this job title, Pharmacy Designated Representative in CA.

I tried to embed their graph, but alas, no success.

So here's the info, as of 6/25/2011: Average Pharmacy Designated Representative Salaries in CA is $76,000

Does this ring true for you?
