That's the type of mindset that keeps people stuck. The money is good, but most aspects of the job suck, as we're aware. Been out of the industry for a few years now after nearly 2 decades in it. Grew tired and frustrated with the current reality of Pharma with it's frequent lay-off's, sociopathic management, superficial (or worse) teammates, access issues, unrealistic expectations, etc. Adjusted to having a lower compensation in another field where the job provides intrinsic rewards and security - something that Pharma has not offered in many years. No age discrimination to worry about either - I can work my job until I'm 70 or older, full-time or part-time. For many, the Golden Handcuffs of Pharma prevent them from seeking other endeavors that could be more rewarding and more secure. Break those golden handcuffs or have them broken for you after your next lay-off.
