Plus, in the past two years we have had 3 sales ideologies and getting ready to start our 4th.
So you really see a difference? About as different as a meth and a cocaine addict.

I think if you like the new industry you should go for it, as you said it is recession proof, AZ and pharma are going to contract reps. If you stay in pharma there is no guarantee that you will get promoted and if you do, they may rescructure and downsize again. A few years working your way up may be better than prolonging the career in that industry by staying in pharma.Okay first of all I realize I will get called names by posting this so, please save yourself the trouble, stop reading if you are immature. I need serious advice...
First I am a CL 4, making a base of 91K and 23K targeted bonus. My DSM, who IS staying, promised me that in 2012 I will most likely be promoted to a position back east. Yes that IS what I wanna do. I do not wanna be a rep forever. Most likely I will survive the layoffs, but to protect myself I looked for other jobs and one of them turned into an offer.
The offer is for a Sr Sales Rep in another industry. I have a degree in that industry. I will not say what it is, as I do not wanna give it away, but it is more recession proof. They are offering me a base of $110,000 and a bonus of $25,000. So a jump from AZ BUT the pickle is that I would still be a sales rep, and basically start from bottom and work for 4-6 years before I can get into management.
Now, knowing what you know, and if you were in my shoes would you:
A. Remain at AZ for hope of being a trainer, analyst or whatever back east OR
B. Start in a new industry but as a lowly, alas highly paid, but still a sales rep?
Top 5% for several years? You have to win COE 3 times and never miss goal for any quarter to get interview for training dept.
Leave, move on, this industry is dying.
First of all a DSM does not have any pull in getting you a position in HQ and second, why the fuck would anyone move for this company right now?Run as fast as you can you have a great opportunity in front of you!! Best of luck!

Choose B: this is a no brainer. Can't you see that the pharma industry is dead. Plus you will get more money...the only person who cares if you have a top job is "yourself" no one really cares when it comes down to it...as long as you do a good job.
