Being that you are an internal - moving into specialty will only give you a modest bump (there is a limit on how much they can give you per HR - based on your level). Which is BS because they offered Vertex $120,000 with $20,000 signing bonuses. Oh - and if you are already in a "specialty" franchise you will get no raise at all - lateral move. The only way to really increase your base is to go to another company. Since I am in the HCV franchise, and Harvoni just got FDA approval for 8 weeks at $63,000 (most providers will write it off label because the price is so cheap and they are getting 2 DAA's - they'll chance it on relapse - just like every provider did for Sim Sof and "claimed" all their patients were interferon intolerant), I will need to be looking for another job soon. We are Fu$&ed - pure and simple! Plus, this franchise is run horribly - every thing this franchise has come out with has been a lie and a disaster as far as training, execution, and follow through. I can only imagine how horrific the 3D launch will be. It will get fu$&ed up like everything else. It's gonna be an ugly ride ahead of us....start looking for another gig now while you still have your dignity!
