Interviewed this week with DM on phone. He asked what my last salary was and I told him 59k and 15k bonus at plan. (I have 15 years of pharma exp) He said that salary was "definitely in the range" and I told him that was a totally different contract with tiny territory and no speaker programs, so I would need a lot more like in the 70's. I don't even want this contract (or any pharma for that matter) but I have to play along while I get unemployment. I love doing interviews when I don't care at all. Problem is interviewers seem to like that! This product is going to be impossible to market. And we thought Amrix was bad....
You made 59k with 15yrs in pharma??? You posted like you were proud of this fact! You must live somewhere that has no cost of living, haven't got a raise in 15 years, or just suck at your job. Hell, I've only been in 2 years and started at 60k in a primary care gig. I am really sure unemployment doesn't pay you 59k a year, but it sounds like your being lazy. Hate to break it to you skippy but finding ways to stay on unemployment is probably harder than doing this job...
$59,000 a year..what a tool...
From one DM to another, you are right! My #2 candidate is a phone call away from getting the job. You could have had it but wanted an extra $100 a month or another week of vacation. See ya.

Dude, try reading the post again for comprehension, the guy said this is what he told the manager in the interview. He was being sarcastic about what the manager wanted to hear regardless of the reality of the his work and salary history. Hate to break it to you Skippy but you've got no sense of humor and are way too narcissistic to ever have any fun.
"Dude", I do so have a sense of humor and I am not narcisstic at......wait.....yes, yes I am. I do understand the levity at doing "fake" interviews, but I'm still on the money with unemployment, right? Lazy, lazy, lazy. To quote OP: "I don't even want this contract (or any pharma for that matter) but I have to play along while I get unemployment." btw, if you don't want a contract job, or "any pharma for that matter", then what do you want? Hmm?
And please, Skippy is your name, not mine. Try thinking up cool names on your own. See?
Sounds like a great opportunity for someone who needs to work. Nothing in life is guaranteed, so if you get a chance to interview;;; Go For IT! Group Medical, a car, benefits, 65-70K salary, (don't count on a bonus!), and more time to look for a better job or maybe move into management. For me, I am praying to get the chance for the regional interview, and will take the job if offered. Yes, I used to make more but working conditions mean alot and the terrible economy makes someone look at things more closely these days. Nothing has ever been perfect working in pharma, but it beats a minimum wage job with no benefits. Paying a car note, insurance , gas, repairs and my own medical for the past 3 years has been costly, after my layoff. So, I wish everyone well and just remember nothing is forever...even in BIG Pharma.
so with this philosophical rant, did you interview with the hiring DM, did they give you a time frame for placing you in a position?
had phone interview with hiring manager - was told I was one of three selected to go to Philly week of August 8th for ftf which includes a presentation.
no more details on which day, flight, etc...

What territory are you interviewing for to be sent to Philly for F2F?
I have a phone interview this week. Any advice on the phone interview? Typical situational type questions? Thanks for any insight provided.
has anyone heard anything further about f2f interviews? I was told I would be interviewing in Chicago but haven't heard anything more on date/time/travel arrangements.
I just received my email tonight with all specifics for interviews f2f the week of Aug 8th on the east coast. my recruiter has done a really good job keeping me informed despite all the stories one hears.
To the one who got your email tonight: when did you do your phone interview? Just wondering how long it takes to know. Thanks!
Why are they sending three candidates to a face to face? especially since they are flying them in??? talk about awkward! i just want the job!!!!
Is it true that Depomed may be looking for a larger partner if/when Sereda is approved?? How long would this job be for and is there a chance Depomed hires the reps??? Or will they find a larger pharma company to co-promote with??
I had a phone interview today for a midwest position and was told there was F2F intvws happening over the next two weeks in philadelphia and atlanta
You had a phone interview with a know nothing idiot RTAM. This is another cluster about to happen with our old pal Whitney running the show. IF you get on, get in good with the Depomed DM and distance yourself from the inVentiv idiots!
