Can anyone provide what the oncology training looks like? Homestudy timeframe tests etc. Only have one product in hematology Thanks. Best start to be begin in a few weeks.
Best training I have done in the industry. Good pace, thorough, and prepares you well for what's to come. -Good Luck P.S. Do yourself a favor and ignore the disingenuous, moronic comments that are sure to follow.
What type of compensation is expected in the Oncology role you are referring to? I see a few opening for Oncology Rep/Specialist listed on the website... I am considering exiting heavy medical device for improved QOL.
Here is a perfect example of the type of moron you should ignore. This turd clearly does not work here.
I've been here over 10 years and my salary is approaching $130k. If you're 100% to plan you can expect about another $40k. Your manager determines your QOL. If you have someone who's been here over 10 years they tend to get it. They hire reps who get it and your QOL is great. My understanding is there are a handful of ass hats, mostly on the Onc side, I'm Hem. I'd definitely recommend Hem if you have a choice. Good luck. I find it a challenging and fulfilling career and most of the people I work with would say the same thing. The people on here bitching either have one foot out the door or don't work here at all.
There's a significant amount of pressure on the solid tumor franchise to deliver results. Much of this pressure still resides with Sandostatin LAR, which is a 28+ year old product, and is budgeted for a 12% increase in revenue this year. The ST franchise is, in my opinion, pretty mature in terms of product lifecycle. Overall, Novartis Oncology has a robust pipeline; it's just that many of the assets are 2-4 years away from hitting market.
Tasigna for Chronic Myloid Leukemia (CML), Promacta for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia (ITP) and Jadenu for Iron Overload. In the next month or so Mydiostarum a new drug for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL)
It's a high level job that pays very well. Not sure what you are looking for but its not a free ride. You take the good with the bad and make the most of it.
Hi. This seems like an honest thread which is refreshing. Thanks. Can anyone give any insight to the solid tumor/rare disease business unit within the oncology division? I am looking to expand into therapeutic oncology as my next career step. Novartis on the cover looks promising and committed to this space. Just curious to any experienced insight from those who are here now. Thanks again
