Ok Mr Comedian… Nice used car is north of 30k. Point is Safe is created debt by not offering co cars.


I’m not joking. You don’t have $30,000 saved? You have to be more disciplined with your money. Stop buying starbucks. My family came to this country with nothing, works hard and pays cash for everything.

Thank you for saying this. I have been truly baffled by all these people whining about buying a car. Is everyone that broke? They are also giving 10,000 towards it? This is also not anything new with smaller biotech companies. My friend has been at Neurocrine for 5 years and has had a car allowance the whole time. I would say you probably need to move on, or else this is just a troll who didn’t actually get hired here.

Nobody in their right mind is going to out of pocket 30-40k on a damn work car that will get run into the ground doing pharma sales within 2 years.
 








Reimbursement for miles allows companies to track how many calls reps are really making. There’s a lot of bogus calling that leadership is trying to mitigate. Mileage records can be weaponized to get rid of you if they want you out.
 




Thoughts that some may want to consider.


If you don't have cash to buy a car, you shouldn't have taken this job.
How do you think paying interest on a car loan makes the situation better?

It is common for starrtup companies to not offer company cars.
22 cents a mile is way too low considering current gas and vehicle prices. Do the math, huge loss.
Sage isn't truing-up the 10k like other companies for a car purchase bonus. You are getting 6k after taxes.

Miles are tracked via fleet or for reimbursment, there is no alterior motive like call tracking becuase of no fleet.

None of this is true, just a poser who is pissed that they missed out.

You, like most Americans, are bad at math. However you acquire a vehicle, it comes out of your pocket. If you are irresponsible and don’t have the money to pay for it, then you must borrow money which makes it cost even more. I will actually make money on the car allowance.

Humorous discussion. I didn’t care for a $600/mo charge for a fleet Hybrid Escape at L******, and then walked away with nothing. Plus taxed for the benefit.

Wake up ya woke dude. Driving your own car in a sales job is taking a personal financial beating. Well maybe not if you drive a sub compact or electric car but damn nobody in their right mind wants to drive 40k miles annually in those POS vehicles. You’re a moron.

Quit being so dramatic. Taking a small loss on your car isn’t that bad to drive whatever you want. Would I rather have a nice three row fleet vehicle sure. Would I rather have a base model equinox hell no

this ain’t a pissing contest to determine who has the bank to pay cash for a vehicle dummy. Nobody pisses away money in bad investments just because they have it. Simple math here if you get paid 200k why not be smart and not throw 30k away in a bad investment to take you down to 170k? Maybe you live fine at 170k but don’t throw the 30k away dummy.

Just invest the 16k a year you get for the car stipend in crypto and you will be a millionaire and can any car you want

That is why I will use my $800 hooptie and make money on the car allowance.
