It is off topic, but this is one of the more intelligent posts I've seen in a while.Off topic but I have to comment. Lilly is on the lower range of “normal” when compared to other pharma companies. Everyone that I know who has left Lilly, left and received an increase in pay. Internally, Lilly requires us to operate in a “lattice” environment, moving from one parallel role to another (P3-P3 or P4-P4) with minimal annual merit increases. This lattice structure enables us to learn more aspects of the business which supposedly prepares us for the few leadership positions that exist. When we leave, we take all of our experience and get SIGNIFICANT increases in pay. Just start to pay attention to the “leaders” that have left or will be leaving. They aren’t leaving for less pay.
Two things can be true at once. Lilly can have competitive compensation for a given job title/level. But they can also be stingy with promotions, the net result being that people in certain roles are getting great experience and punching way above their pay grade. Lilly is betting most people will become addicted to their lifestyle and low cost of living in Indianapolis, and just suck it up. But some will cash in their chips and get higher-level positions with other companies, oftentimes with much higher pay. This is probably more of a headquarters than a sales force phenomenon, though.
Back on topic. Even so, odds are that anyone who chooses to resign over a vaccine mandate will find it difficult to get a higher-level position at another company, no matter how good they are. Prospective employers in this industry expect you are already vaccinated. So if you have to ask about a mandate, they assume you are not and conclude you have poor judgement. And they would be right.
