If selling cars is so good, why don't you head off to Europe? Such an idiot.

It is possible to make 300K per year selling high end European cars in large metro cities. There is money to be made everywhere. Service and finance also make commission. As you put time in, many of your customers are previous customers who renew leases. No cold calling, no virtual meetings, no bringing breakfast, lunch and snacks to office staff. No asking favors to customers to do “Dog and Poney” shows for important home office dignitary field visits. Customers have brand loyalty in car sales and call you when lease is up for renewal. Car sales work in modern air conditioning dealerships while pharma representives go door to door bringing snacks in August heat. There are no compliance audits at car dealerships and government wants everyone to get new low emission cars. Market is enormous and growing. Will your great relationships in cardiology help you sell a new oncology medicine? Pharmaceuticals is a horrible career.

It’s hard to leave the guaranteed base salary, bonuses, company car, autonomy, work life balance…

Hopefully the product sells. It is hard to have work life balance staring at zeros in weekly sales numbers. Manager wants to have urgent field visits. Snack delivery for office staff is vital.

Almost every word of this post is incorrect. Nobody "stares" at zeroes, because everyone has at least one person in their district carrying everybody else. Novartis has enabled laziness and indifference by paying people for zeroes, and they don't seem to have a plan to fix anything. Why should anyone care? Leqvio management doesn't. Also, your manager may see "snack delivery" as vital, but mature adults who know how to sell know better. Show some pride and stand up for yourself. If you have allowed yourself to become Uber-eats, that's on you. Lastly, if you wake up in the morning and think "hopefully I will move business today", you've already lost. If that is your mindset, your manager is justified in scheduling extra field days.

Possible, not probable. Not everyone lives in a metro area. And….if it’s so great, what are you doing in the Novartis cafepharma board? I’m calling bullshit.
