Have a few questions to ask my DM in interview to sound prepared. What is Amarin currently working on in the Pipeline? I can see myself spending the rest of my career here. Really excited to possibly work at Amarin!

Fuck off. If you don't know how to find the pipeline information, you should not get a job here.
 


















Some people are just miserable in life. Vascepa is an only child and is Amarin’s only baby.
This is why companies do not like pharma reps. This person came to Cafepharma, rather than doing what could have, easily, been done with a Google search, and proceeded to wait for someone to come on the site and answer. That shows a lack of initiative, lack of independent thinking or bewilderment, and laziness. I stand by my original answer, "Fuck off."

There is a wildcard at play here, however. Amarin's management hasn't even attempted to build out a broader clinical pipeline to complement Vascepa, and that's a big tell in regards to the company's value-creation strategy. Cutting to the chase, Amarin has probably already fielded a few tender offers in the event the FDA greenlights Vascepa's Reduce-It indication.

Amarin's key risk thus boils down to the company's ability to maximize Vascepa's commercial potential. Although Amarin is planning on significantly beefing up its sales force once the FDA formally approves this label expansion, the reality of the situation is that the company simply cannot tackle this vast market by itself.

Amarin doesn't have the commercial infrastructure or the marketing clout to cover all the bases, so to speak. There's an inherent structure reason, after all, why all the bestselling drugs in the world are either marketed directly by a pharma titan or at least partnered with one of the industry's biggest names.

Bull! I’m a DM and the individuals I have hired have decades worth of experience selling in the CV and Diabetes market! These stellar individuals have experience calling on PC as well as Specialists within their given geography. They also have worked in big pharma for decades and know what a horrible environment it can be! This is WHY they chose Amarin! No thank you big pharma with more of these excellent sales reps AS WELL AS ALL of the existing stellar sales reps we DO NOT NEED YOU!!!!!!! STAY AWAY!!! YOU DRAIN OUR LIFEFORCE AND SPIRIT!!!!!

Then why doesn’t Amarin pay us excellent experienced reps more money?!? Lowest paid in the industry!

LOL. Ok Mr DM. This drug has the potential to be a 10B/year product. If you think things aren’t about to change in terms of pressure and goaling, you are clueless. Amarin needs Big Pharma and the “muscle” all over the world they can provide.

LOL, Right! Some big pharma company come in and want a piece of a pie they did nothing to deserve!! Most of our sales reps and employees have come from big pharma and we want nothing to do with them! We are experienced sales reps/ employees even though we are a fairly new company! No thank you! You sound like an Amarin reject from big pharma and you wish you could sell Vascepa!

I worked for Parke-Davis and they had Lipitor....some people in HO wanted us to co-promote Lipitor with Pfizer...I was on the committee and I said NO way. We already had 3 sales teams at Parke-Davis ready to sell Lipitor....well you know what happened....they bought us and go rid of most of us....You don't need them...take it from me!

You should bow out, now. You're an idiot

People don’t like big pharma because of all of the metrics and micromanagement. They enjoy smaller companies that trust them to sell. However, Amarin has more metrics and micromanagement than any big pharma company I’ve ever worked for. So it’s not any better than working for big pharma
 






I think Amarin will be sold quickly. There is no other explanation as to why we are being hammered on calling on “targets” even though we keep having all time highs week after week. Normally companies don’t care what you’re doing as long as business is growing. I can’t get into my targets. All of my writers are non targets

Entitled much? What did you do to deserve it....did you invent Vascepa? Puhlease

Exactly!!!! We have very talented people at Amarin!

This whole thread is just noise. I truly believe the C Suite thinks about us when discussing the future of our company with Big Pharma and Wall Street. They value our hard work, loyalty, and experience.
