Life After Pharma







For starters, there will unlikely be many helpful posts from CP but the main determiner of how your life goes after pharma is up to you and your skills. If you are going to measure your "life" in dollar signs then it might be challenging to measure up to your expectations. More important is finding a fulfilling career that allows you to develop new skills or enhance your existing ones. I left the industry after 15+ years, and have had new opportunities materialize that don't involve working in the suffocating (and belittling) environment that pharma has become.

Take the leap, and re-light your passion for pursuing excellence in yourself.

peace
 






Sure!

1.) People get sick of the routine, etc. blah blah blah.
2.) Hey! I'll go start my own company or something! No more of this corporate BS!
3.) You quit. Suddenly, there's a car payment, you're buying your own lunch......hey, healthcare is REALLY expensive! OMG! Cubicles from 7:30 to 5:30? Really?
4.) FUCK THIS SHIT!
5.) You re-apply to a pharma company touting your "extensive experience and territory network with TONS of contacts."
6.) A really lazy manager hires you (after all, it's a LOT of work to hire a greener) and let's you work your 10 to 2 so long as you're ranked 50% or higher.

That's exactly how it goes down.

And Obama care ends your job. Welcome to Walmart!
 












Start your own business on the side! Stop
Being a corporate monkey and living in mediocrity being happy with
a 75k base.

This is just a job not a career. You are not developing or challenging
yourself whatsoever and after a few years of this it's extremely
easy to become disgruntled

So have some balls and take a risk instead of being a continuing drone

Thank you, that was a great response...much appreciated!
 












you have to pursue your passion; what do all your friends and family say you are naturally skilled? public speaking, consulting, listening, numbers crunching, etc.?

you have to recreate yourself, talk to trusted friends, ask them what they think you would be good at, they are great sounding boards

find out what you really like to do and success will follow

i am sure there will be numerous posts about porn, or choking on something as a profession, working with sal and richard, grabbing chub, fluffer, etc, please, impress us with your bathroom humor... this ship will sink and many of you would be better off figuring out your next move now vs later

the toughest thing about getting into a "real business" type job is reprogramming you mind to think with real business sense. In every other industry managing you resources is not simply spending as much of your budget as quick as possible and then asking for more. Almost every business wants a result tied to the expense.
