Then go for the job!! No one is stopping you. I will tell you however, most of the top picks have backed out as this opportunity isn't as great as they would like everyone to believe....keep trying to convince yourself

This coming from one of the 4,830 who were not invited to the final round. Go post on your employer's board and accept the rejection.
 


















First of all, what product doesn't face reimbursement issues these days, there are generic alternatives for every branded product! Second, get back on your Abilify because NO OFFERS HAVE BEEN MADE YET!! Not sure what the voices in your head have been telling you what you were going to make with Chelsea, but wake up call, it's time for your meds.So many geniuses here who will be "passing" on their offers, I'll be the sloppy seconds any day of the week.

I'm not saying Northera will not get approved but it will be a LONG road. If you've ever been with a start up company you know they are hiring way to many reps for an orphan drug and reimbursement will be an issue. I personally will not be accepting my offer. It will be interesting to check back here about 6 months after approval. Good luck though...

Look desperate one! I was plan A going into Philly and was told so by manager. Who in their right mind would pay $1000 when there are other options. I sure wouldn't. Hope it works out for you but don't hate because I think differently.

Man, I'm interviewing soon, and not sure that I'd take the job if offered, but that would pertain to any new venture I'd look at. But I gotta say, the level of immaturity on these boards is astounding. I dont' understand the mentality of calling someone a "loser" because they are open-minded. I don't see the what therapeutic effect it would have to come to the boards and berate others because you don't see the offer as being viable, or you were not called to interview, etc. Why not just move on, look for something else, and be happy? Why subject yourself to this and post to people you don't know, about something you can't know anything about at this point?

I sincerely hope management has some kind of tool to weed out people like you.
 






Can they request the IP address about comments made? I'm no IT guy but seems possible.

And basically calling someone 'crazy' is mature? There are a lot of people on here that need to grow up.

Sure you were plan A, hey why don't you call up Heidi Klum she's single now and I'm sure you'd be her first choice as well!!!!

I won't. After long consideration, the hiring strategy just does not make sense. I have worked for several start ups and when they hire this may people at launch, they ALWAYS end up laying a large percentage of them off very quickly. Once the drug launches, the company starts spending money faster than they can make it and when wall street puts on the pressure, the quickest fix is to streamline the sales force. Make no mistake, this is an orphan drug. They do not need 85 reps anyway. Truth be told, they probably know that and are just testing the waters to see how well/quickly the drug is received in areas. Anyone who has launched a drug knows that there are certain areas where the physicians tend to be "early adopters" and certain areas where they will wait to see what their colleagues do first and that it is effective and safe.

I also caution those who have kids- once they decide they need to streamline the sales force, you will be the ones with targets on your heads. Your territories will double or triple in size and your RSM knows that you will be miserable when you're forced to do 3-5 overnights a week.

I know the money is tempting, but look at it as though that $85-100k is your total comp. If you have worked for a start up you know that they always expect much higher revenues than are realistic and therefore the goals they set are not attainable, so if you're looking for that "$36k at plan" or even the much higher bonus possibilities you saw in the interview, you are dreaming. Look at some of the other start up boards here, they were promised the same and are on track to make $300 this quarter. LOL. If you look at it from that perspective, your total comp is a little below average and you will be working twice as hard as you would for any other company making that kind of money, with the very real possibility that your position will be gone in six months or less and you will be going through this all over again.

could not agree more with above. this has been my experience and insights with startups at least for the psat 5-7 years. prior to that startups were a great place to grow and make a ton of cash. that is no longer the case.

If I read this post before being in Philly for the final interview I would have disagreed & thought this was another no-it-all D-bag talking out of their ass. HOWEVER, after the going thru the final interview I feel this post is SPOT ON. The final interview was a big letdown, in terms of the feeling I got for this whole thing, and also the mgnt team running the show. I'm not going to get anymore specific b/c I think this guy already covered it. Unfortunate b/c I am hoping we are all wrong about this!

Sorry to hear your interview went poorly and we not offered the job!!

I might go if they loosen up the wallet and pay for the "top talent" they say they want. Maybe they will negotiate with more stock or sign on bonus. not sure about any of that though. No use talking about it anyway unless an offer comes. I think I will get it, just not sure if it will be enough.

This is PHARMA SALES. There is no TOP TALENT. You are all just a number and have VERY LITTLE to do with the success or failure of any product.
 






Funny all the big mouths about getting offers before any were even made are all quiet now. Seems like since Chelsea management put live offers out there, all of the "A" candidates have decided to stay put in their current gigs. Can't wait to get after it with Cheslea!!
 












Just because you haven't gotten a phone call and the recruiter has lied to you about the time frame doesn't mean offers haven't gone out. Thanks for interviewing and good luck sticking with your current job.
 


















Offers did go out... I was told "they decided to go in another direction" So the "Plan A" in my territory did accept and from what I was told this person is currently employed...I was sure the job was mine so I got "sold" by the recruiters...oh well, maybe for the best....

How did you get the news - by manager or recruiter? E-mail or phone? I'm still waiting to hear......
