Im over 50 in rural area and found a better job. I was at 91K at Merck and got a gig at 105.

You have to sell yourself so get a nice new suit, nice dry cleaned shirt and tie and practice your interview skills. Have a few stories down that you can adapt to any STAR question. Make them think your the shit and they need you.

Don’t let doom and gloom get you down. Pharma is changing. They are not many PC jobs left and that is not the future. There are specialty positions that pay well but you have much bigger territories and travel a little more.

If I was younger I would definitely not try to build a pharma career.

So you got another job in the pharma industry? Why the heck would anyone want to do that? You didn't learn you lesson the first time around?

Yes, you can make money selling on Ebay. You really need to get on Amazon to replace your income. I know several people making 6 figures selling on Amazon.

Amazon, what a model. Jeff Bezos also owns the WashPo, sits on the board of the Pentagon, and has a deal with the CIA worth 3x what he paid for the paper. Then he hires an exCIA operative on the editorial board to push more war. Has ambulances sitting outside his distribution centers in case an employee drops from heat exhaustion because he's squeezing too much profit out of society to air condition his workplace. And now that he's put brick and mortar book stores out of business, why, he'll go into that too.

Jesus, are some of you morons literally retarded? Is there anyone is this shithole company dumb enough to think that Merck is "employment for life"? They've sh!tcanned 80,000 of us over the last ten years. They LITERALLY shuttered the corporate HQ! There's practically NOTHING LEFT of the sales force! WTF?

Exactly....My question is why would you work for a big pharma company like Merck anyway? Why? You enjoy dropping samples ? Making 80-90k base ? Bonuses less than 20K per year? More stifling regulation and rules? More paperwork analysis bullshit that nobody reads? A joke of a pension? Why? Why wouldn't you consider smaller biotech where the REAL money is and more upside with making base salaries over 150k and bonuses at 30K or over ? I don't get it...Do you really think that little of yourself to subject yourself to big pharma bullshit ? I'm 50 and doing quite well and we have many here over 50 still kicking it. There's a market for stellar, tenured sales people who know what they are doing. Of course many of us know many docs that are important to the business and have established relationships...Small biotechs pay big bucks for that because they want reps already established....If you're lazy though and think it's going to be a cakewalk then this job isn't for you. There's no pod selling bullshit here....It's all you and that should be a good thing.

Agree.
Most Pharma reps are lazy, insecure, lack competence and need the pod just like they need their Facebook “ friends”.
The only negative with small biotech is less job security than big Pharma, which we all know isn’t great, and being bought by a larger company that turns it into big Pharma and puts you back into the pod scene.
It’s a great ride while it lasts.
