I spoke with HR for open position last week. Salary is based on experience and current range. She did not ask my exact salary but I was honest with my expectations on what it would take for me to consider leaving my current job. I’ve been in rare disease for almost 12yrs and held other commercial roles in leadership positions. For me, it would have to be 190-200k and that’s bc my current salary is 185k so it wouldn’t be a huge raise to make the jump. However, the company and opportunity sounds like it could be amazing. I’ll keep you posted if this works out.
My advice is ask for about 20% hike or at least 225K. HR loves the aggressive, out-going, confident type applicants. They are under pressure to hire the high pot (potential) applicants. The starting base is not what they are measured against.
I did it and am even higher base.
Best of luck !!
So my friend applied for a position who has a stellar resume with multiple pclubs at every job held, been a manager, trainer, and currently a KAM in rare disease and under 40yrs old. I have nothing close to his background and success and I’m pushing 50 but I’m getting an upcoming interview. He got the generic HR rejection letter of sorry we are moving forward with other candidates who more match the job, blah, blah, blah. I had hoped we could both work together again as we live in different states as the opportunity seems promising. I’m just shocked they didn’t even give this guy a chance to interview.
concur with this post, you must exhibit confidence and optimism for a position like this which is, at best, a long shot for success. why would you leave a secure job in pharma and take this position unless you are getting well rewarded for the high risk?
This product IMO is a scam, and has a very short life.
Right onStartups always have risk. We all know that. It's going to be a steep uphill climb for this product to take off. Your points are valid. If gainfully employed, stay where you are. If this company can get things rolling and you can join in two years then that would put you in a good position - stay where I am or joing this company. But right now, its risky.
BB Warning with REMS makes for a challenging and limiting path forward.
Sounds like he is way overqualified. HR may feel he would be a training problem / challenge or simply demand way too much $, as maybe $300k?
Another possibility is these opportunities are B'S scams and he would figger it out and report to Feds!
You have no chance as your age being 50 is very old and makes you almost a fossil.
Best of luck!
Funny, you would think 50 is old. I’m getting an interview and it’s confirmed so we’ll see if the money is right and something I wanna do. I was just simply stating that I don’t know how HR discerns from resume especially when my friend didn’t even get pushed on. IMO, that overqualified excuse is bs. Someone who has just been successful wouldn’t be a training problem...they bring that success with them to the new company. Their loss bc I know they passed on a performer.
You may be right but HR has bias 's that we will not be privy to. Suspect there are some negative markers in his past..maybe a rap sheet? Maybe DUI ? Maybe a frivolous lawsuit from a spermed luver? Who knows. That these are highly covered positions is a total joke. Some other poster is full of vs !! LMAO on that one ! !Funny, you would think 50 is old.

Anyway good luck. I also have an offer but turned down. Work at J&J.

LOL. Spermed lover. Good one.
Stay at J&J. No one cares.
But, I have to say, your continued trashing of the PAM position screams sour grapes.
I don’t think it will be long before the company is acquired by bigger pharmaceutical companies once Palforzia gets approval. Earn your paychecks and take those stock options
