It is a much better career choice to sell cars vs. pharmaceuticals. The government wants everyone to get new cars anyway that produce lower carbon dioxide. The market is enormous and growing. Cars salespeople need no college degree, work in air conditioned dealerships and customers call them when lease is up for renewal. No cold calling. Pharmaceutical sales representatives beat the pavement door to door in August heat bringing lunch and snacks to 30 office staff. The doctors barely say hello, much less prescribe your product. Doctors slam door in your face. There are European car sales people in large metro areas making 300k a year where pharmaceutical representatives receive no stock options, 3% raise, then fired. Car sales people build relationships overtime with their customers and customers renew leases with brand loyalty. Pharmaceuticals can build relationships over years that become completely useless with territory change or disease change. For example, will your years building relationships in Cardiology help you selling your newly assigned oncology medicine? Pharma rep is fired with no acquired skills where car sales people can work into their 70s ,part time, selling cars for extra spending money. Get out of pharmaceuticals while you can!!! It is only going to get worse.

Also, government is tired of paying 5 times the price for branded pharmaceuticals than Japan, France, Canada and the UK. Government wants everyone to get modern low emissions cars.

I can’t think of many sales jobs where your relationships have zero value. Once medicine goes generic will your relationships help you make new sales? If you have wonderful relationships in infectious disease or cardiology, will those relationships land you a job launching an oncology medicine? In other sales fields like insurance sales or even car sales your relationships of previous customers still bring in revenue. Past car customers renew leases with same sales person. Car sales get lease renewals. Insurance sales get premium renewals. In pharmaceuticals once your medicine goes generic good luck leveraging your cardiology customers in getting your oncology medicine on formulary. Pharmaceuticals is truly the worst. Bringing breakfast, lunch, and snacks to office staff really does not build your skill set. Car sales have no home office field visits, no virtual meetings, dinner programs and compliance issues. Car sales people in large metro areas can make 300k a year. Pharmaceutical representatives are fired.

But what about all the great remaining Celgene people?

The rubbish that Celgene left behind are not moving. They are functioning as an org within an org. All BMS are off limits in this group and that’s how they keep their jobs. They have not integrated 5 years post integration. Anyone who has made their way into this niche group are kicked out sooner than later. Weak BMS leadership let this happen and many of them are laid off giving Celgene the last laugh. Take that BMS.

What about the St?
 








We should be positive. People in pharma are very blessed to have the jobs they have, and they have the chance to help patients lead a better life. Great compensation too. Be grateful!
