Why take part

A true industry benchmark

Pay, bonus and benefits for every function and level, from associate medical writer to managing director, across agencies, in-house teams and freelancers worldwide.

More than salary

Flexible working, progression, culture and where the industry is heading: what people in medcomms actually think, not what employers assume.

Free for everyone

The full report and an interactive salary guide will be free at medcomms.jobs in spring 2027, so you can see exactly where you stand.

The more people who take part, the more detailed the results can be, so please share it with colleagues too.

  • We never ask for your name, email, employer or any contact details.
  • Results are only published as group figures, never for groups of fewer than 10 people.
