" they always have two clowns, all companies." This is not true. I've worked for a much larger pharma co than Pernix and have interviewed with other much bigger players that only had one manager present to interview. Get informed.

Well, Bob Backland in his prime could beat Hulk Hogan. So, you need to get informed with wresting history.

If what you say is true; then, I think that I might continue chanting the mantra "sell high," "buy low," a cliché, but apropos certainly to what you have here. I would submit that it is a “hornet’s nest,” of sorts, another cliché, but I do not believe that your company can “weather the oncoming storm.” I am concerned that you have “bitten off more than you can chew.”

Nevertheless, I think that you are in much better shape than Zogenix, so I would also be a buyer around $5.00. Good luck to you, I hope that your increased focus, and transition further into pain management is less problematic than I anticipate! You appear to have a solid management team, so that is why I am willing to become very bullish somewhere around the $5.00 mark.

If base salary is your primary objective,then stay in pharma sales where a 8 hour day is considered a full day.

Device and companies that sell capital equipment might pay a 60k base then you earn monthly commissions based on actual sales.
It is a job that isn't an 8-5 deal. You better be in the OR by 6 am and an early day is finishing at 4... Then you have to set or confirm your cases for next day as well as your paperwork with A/P & A/R depts in hospitals.
Then you take call 2-3 days per week, including weekends.
Working hard is all relative. Worried about choices with company cars and base salaries....stay in pharma.
Those afraid of a commission heavy sales position are usually weak sales people.

I used to mostly agree with you, but the older I get (I have done both pharma and medical device), the more I think the pharma reps are smarter…because you have to remember that you are a corporate sales person, and you are not making that much more in these "real" sales jobs…you are working long hours for a dollar that is not worth much.

you have to remember that time, not money, is the most important asset in life (aside from water, air, etc).

you must still be in your 20s and 30s. Once you hit your 40s, you will see it more clearly. trust me on that.
