You bag carriers schlepping sample boxes and sandwich platters in and out of disgusting medical offices will barely get a whiff of equity in this company. You’re all a dime a dozen and the company won’t give valuable options or RSUs to you in any significant and life changing amount.

Wow! Mr./Mrs. Positivity! Sorry you didn’t get an interview beyond the recruiter. You might as well have changed your font color to green because you’re obviously bitterly envious and know it’s a good opportunity. Why else would you be trolling through a startup message board, and why would you care enough to post? Oh wait…you’re just dying to see a negative post from more people with sinister predictions or the guy who says, “my cousins brothers uncles best friends daughter works for X and said “Layoffs start next week! Get your resumes ready!””
 




Coverage will be a bear. Will have to step through every generic out there to get it paid for at highest tier. Either high copay assistance or steep back-end rebates to buy its way on formulary.

well… Successful sales reps can get past coverage very easily! Additionally, Gerd is a huge issue for many people, millions in fact, and it’s something that doesn’t go away. They have to be on it long term, or for the rest of their lives. The mechanism of action of this medication is totally different, and the nice thing is most patients have been on everything under the sun! So this product is an amazing opportunity for savvy sales people who don’t get freaked out by bad coverage! Those who can’t sell, need not apply. It’s definitely an opportunity about WIFM’s… what’s in it for prescriber, what’s in it for the patient that’s dealing with the symptoms and issues, and what’s in it for me as the rep, which is making money! Sounds like a good start… sometimes the best things in life are simple and not too complex.
 








































Anyone know if they will accept vacc record for first and second “initial” Covid vaccination only? I was vaccinated 15 months ago but do not want the booster nor have I had a booster (other than second, first dose). It’s not a deal breaker but am hoping to not HAVE to get a boost! I hate big pharma and only the big pharma guys were involved in vaccs for obvious reasons. But when Pfizer used aborted fetal tissue to research the vaccine, I think it warrants some hesitation.
