We ask your current salary because if you were part of a downsizing and made 80,000 then obviously 68000 would not be enough and you would constantly be looking to replace the loss instead of focusing on your job. Happy employees work harder.

That logic works for me. My current base is 82,000 so I would come over to Quintiles in a minute if offered the same to take this job.
 






District have to come in at a budget. This would be why you are asked about salary. The average of the district will be 68. They don't care about happy employees, it is all about the dollar.

To the poster regarding not hiring a downsized rep with a previous salary of 80,000.00.... please understand that in todays economy, making 68,000.00 plus bonus would be a true blessing and very much appreciated. The past is the past and it is almost impossible to find another position offering a new employee the same salary it took someone years to earn. Why would a company want to punish reps for being successful in the past? They should grab these reps as quickly as possible, treat them with respect and a decent salary and they in turn will be grateful to be employeed again and work hard (At least I would). Sometimes it takes loosing something to realize how good you had it and never take it for granted again. The alternative is being unemployed which is not a good scenario. I do hope that Janssen sees the value in someone no matter what their previous salary was.

To the above poster, thank you for posting an intelligent paragraph. I am in the category which you describe. Best of luck to you, and, I hope we both get job offers. I would gladly submit targeting grids and any other huge amount of paperwork and, endure any kind of manager to have my territory and a job which I truly enjoyed doing everyday. My motivation is very simple. Every morning when I wake up, I am reminded that a bank owns my ass for the next thirty years, and, I will work my ass off to keep my home.

To all the malcotents who post about their ingrown toenails, whine, whine whine, get a big cup of SHUT THE FUCK UP.
 












Ofcourse you say you will happily accept the 68k, but the truth is you will keep looking for a job with a higher salary. The Angelini project is a perfect example. From the beginning that contract had about 10 vacancies, and the reason for leaving was always more money.

I don't know what the Angelini project is. I just know that I've been out of "REAL" work for almost two years and 68 thousand is mana from heaven. I'm sure times are different from the Angelini era, see there's LOTS of pharma reps out of work. Hire on merit, not salary.

Some of us will accept that job and crush the numbers, blow them out, because we are experienced. We have the relationships in the targeted physician offices, while others like yourself, had better keep a crying towel in your car, so you can wipe your tears and stupid-ass face during the day. You will also take the crying towel into the "no-see" physician offices, while you moan and groan like a b.i.t.c.h. and sit in the waiting room and read the waiting room magazines.
I will be going through the employee entrance and speaking with the "no see" docs, due to my credibility and relationships...enjoy those magazines!

lol!! you people crack me up! For christ sake, its a contract!
 


















Ah yes! Those of us who have unlimited access to "no see" docs because of our beautiful smiles, personalities and our ability to take in just the right number of jelly donuts for the office staff.

No, not me! Actually my ugliness pervades as my pigeon toes are obvious, crossed-eyes beg for a hug and my ears stick out further than BO's!

But yet my presence in the offices is always pronounced and appreciated . . . . . . . always have access to the no see docs, office manager, NP's and PA's! How does such an uninviting sales rep get in? You'll have to ask the office staff as my "stick" is the envy of all . . . . . . . and the cause of countless faintings by office staff members once they see "IT"! One doc said that we can shorten "IT" so that you feel more comfortable and so it doesn't "stick out like a sore thumb". In any case my thumb and "It" are just fine.

Interesting article, but it's a blog, not medicine and the guy sounds like he's getting a chub every time he writes "Pfizer". My guess is he has a lot of Pfizer stock and lives on the east coast, not impeccable credentials.

Not medicine, huh?

He simply passes along the numbers straight from the New England Journal of Medicine.

No, times are exactly the same. Angelini/Labopharm era is right now.

This employee (who made 100 thousand dollars back in the day in base) WOULD BE THRILLED WITH 68 THOUSAND DOLLARS/YR.

I'm working for 75 dollars a day with P/T teaching to help make ends meet. Please do not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
