As of Sep 22, 2026, 1,453 matching postings state a minimum of zero to two years, while 83 do not state a minimum. These are stated experience requirements, not a guarantee of entry-level eligibility. A posting can require industry experience, a credential or a particular background separately; read the employer's qualifications before applying.
The median advertised annual base is $145,000, calculated from 2,318 qualifying postings as of Sep 22, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates, on-target earnings and non-promotional field-support roles. It measures advertised base pay, not take-home pay or first-year total compensation. 80% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Sep 22, 2026 are Syneos Health (286), AbbVie (242), Amgen (191). These are currently advertised postings on MedSales Radar, not a complete census of hiring or proof of expansion. Counts can change after an employer refreshes its careers site; use the linked listings to check current requirements and locations.
38 of 3,168 matching postings carry a remote or home-based location flag as of Sep 22, 2026; 1,059 state a travel percentage. Home-based medical sales work can still involve customer visits and a defined territory. A missing remote flag does not establish an office requirement, and an unstated travel percentage does not mean no travel. Confirm territory and travel expectations with the employer.
