Any updates on hiring?

















































Can anyone share their thoughts on the bipolar 1 indication with Fanapt? They’re hiring all over the place and I received an offer but not sure it’s a good move. The car allowance is never ideal and agree with other posters who said it’s not even close to being enough to cover maintenance, gas, insurance, and a 9% interest rate car payment. I have reached out to quite a few folks in the psych space that haven’t had a ton good to say, including reps leaving in droves. Strange interview process too.

what was your base pay offer ?
It’s a tough sell, market so competitive,
If you can just get a few new docs to start writing Fanapt for bipolar your golden,
Benefits are good, but the car allowance/milage reimbursement is trash
 




How many territory managers and DMs was Vanda looking to hire before the hostile takeover? I see 36 rep and 19 DM positions posted. The 19 DM position suggests about 190 reps.

$130k. I declined and it sounds like it was a great decision to dodge a falling knife.
