Amgen contract- field access specialist

[anonymous]

I'm working on the sales side of this equation. It's the same story every day......POOR COVERAGE.
I've heard of some layoffs already.....and some have already quit.

While this access specialist might be short term I think it's a good opportunity if you handle it right.
Document every success, keep meticulous records, find ways to get recognized and solve problems. Collaborate with the reps. They are potential recommendations for you in the future.
There will be more & more jobs like this as biologics are approved. It's a path with potential.
The sales side has been a nightmare.

What is happening on dec 1?

Heard the same. December 1st announcement something to do with field access. Its about time

Conference call on 12-1 discussing layoffs and our last day will be 12-31. Product is not profitable so changes have to be made. Time to start looking.

Then why are there a bunch of postings for this position on the career site? They'll hire you to lay you off in Dec? Right...

 

[anonymous]

yes, believe it. They will. Just happened to new hires with Inventiv on the GSK project.

Any updates about this contract? I'm considering the other field reimbursement positions posted.

I received my initial offer at 124k, I countered and was able to get 130. I'm happy and ready to get going. Certainly not ideal but better than where I was.

How much did you counter offer for? 135k?

How was the face to face interview?

i am on the sales side with this product: hired in Feb and getting laid off 12/31. Some folks on this contract are being let go after only 1 or 2 months in the field. They claim it is territory realignment but the reality is this drug is not selling because very few payers will approve it. Keep your resume updated and keep an eye out for openings. Good luck to all.
