The posts are interesting, well some of them. Good ole anonymity...brings out the best in people. I have some serious hesitations with this position and i havent decided on what im going to do. This product is going to take serious work to get off of the ground. That's ok, IF I'm incentivized for it. I'm in a good place now and my base PLUS Bonus is significantly higher than Sage's salary alone. Sage's salary is higher but we don't even know the bonus...nor does Sage it seems. I still don't know the benefits or if they are offering stock. I love the manager but I've heard from friends in the industry that some of the upper management is not so great.
I don't know, i think for me its going to come down to the package offered. It is a risky jump and I think the downside outweighes the upside. Does a rep really benefit from onboarding early on? If the product is successful you get to keep your job and maybe make some money on bonus. If its not successful you're booted.
We'll see what the offer is...it's going to have to be a strong one. I'm hopeful though and i do like the culture.

So, i have heard 130K base is as high as they go? anyone else want to speculate? For TBS....
 




Saw some openings for the Mid atlantic area for the TBS positions. Are they still hiring for DC Maryland and VA areas? Postings still being forwarded from job boards.
Anyone know when the interview and hire dates are?

How much Neuro experience r they looking for if any?

People have been actively interviewing for a couple months I believe. I know I have. But I also know they are doing hiring for TBS is two phases. The current one will be going on to the last interview which is a hiring event next week 18th 19th 20th. I am not sure if there is more than one but believe there are multiple locations throughout the country specific to what area you are interviewing for.

Mine is held in Boston. I do know they keep re-running the ads for the TBS positions for all open positions. I do think a few areas have already been filled already. All KAMs have been filled and they are finishing training at home right now.

So I do not know if the upper VA DC area is in this first phase or second..... probably not what you want to hear. But if interested then apply. Posting are being forwarded to Taylor Stategies with a recruiter intercepting them.

I do not know how much neuro they are looking for. I would imagine some esp with CNS drugs, but I am pretty sure each RBD is different. Mine wants some acct mgmt exp also and exp working with group practices. So there is that.

It’s a good drug and a great pipeline just is def going to be a lot of work so you have to ready for that.

I believe offers will go out by the last week of the month. Start Date mid Oct to beginning of Nov.
 




The unknown to me is the bonus. The launch won’t even be for a few months. And at launch I don’t expect this to be a high volume product. This 60 hour infusion thing presents a lot of challenges. But I do think this is the beginning of Sage and other/better products are coming.
 




So TBS calls on offices and KAMs call on hospitals? What's the difference w the call points?
I applied recently in the last two weeks but noticed the ads were posted 4 months ago. What's the deal w that?? I would think they would have hired people by now.
Haven't heard anything from anyone and I applied directly on the website. I have just 3 yrs of CNS/Neuro in private office settings no hospital.

Hey moron....you get $1,000 toward buying a new phone every 2 years.... You get $100.00 per month towards your phone.....The company is very tech savy. All the "shade" ppl r throwing about the company seems 2 b from disgruntled ppl who didnt get a call back....no one said it'd be an easy sell. They dont want sample droppers.

That’s great because you won’t have any samples to drop. “Psych” drugs have the highest rate of “trial and error” (safety/tolerability & efficacy). Good luck getting a provider to prescribe a $10,000 therapy when it is unknown if the patient can even tolerate it.

Come on. Your stupid but not that stupid are you?! No changes to PUDUFA date or FDA Advisory Board Meeting. So if you personally have some inside knowlege that Others don’t please enlighten us all. The reality is that if there were problems Sage would have to be transparent about them or risk massive lawsuits from shareholders. Companies can’t withold info like that. So which is bigger? The peas your Mommy makes you eat or your brain? Get a life shithead

Ok know-it-all. You are correct no change to PDUFA or AdComm. However, have you considered this. AdComm outcome weighs very heavy on what this drug will look like in the market. Discussion and recommendation on site of infusion (betting hospital only, as that is where it was studied) and then, were there enough patients in clinical trial to determine safety but more importantly efficacy - and in what patient population. Pending AdComm outcome, Sage will then finalize label. Lots of questions? You are correct that Sage would have to be transparent in disclosing, but there isn’t anything to disclose right now. Who’s calling who stupid?!?

has anyone been able to access the shire app for the hiring event yet. have they sent your password?

I don't know where you are getting the "shire" app thing. But, yes, you should have been sent an app link via email to download for the hiring event and if you loaded it correctly via instructions you wouldn't need a password. However, there was one for those that can't read apparently.

Push notifications have been coming down periodically after downloading the app. It really is top notch.

They do not want reps. They want people with diverse selling exp in multiple spaces. People that look at selling as an account manager.
 




I dont know why you guys are being low balled...My offer was for 180K with stock options and use of the company yacht. 10% match on 401K with early retirement bonus for top performers. This is big time pharma not the traditional stuff so come on over for the big win!

I think it depends upon the hiring manager. Some people have only worked in one type of setting and got hired. I'm interviewing this week. The salary will determine whether I accept an offer or not- if an offer is provided. I was told that the KAM role paid max $150 and the TS role pays max $130. I will need more.

Same. It’s going to depend on the package offer. My reasons are: the risk, the amount of work this will take, the geography. My bonus ranges from 40-60k currently. That has to be taken into account.
If the salary is significantly more, amazing benefits, stock options...then it may be worth a shot.
