Why are BI oncology reps paid more than the rest of the company?

dbag is a little strong. It should be reserved for Charlie.

Yes, he owns that title!

This was one of the most talked about threads at our last meeting. Over drinks we were talking about the #2 DB spot. Charlie certainly has the commanding lead, but it is a dogfight for the second place finisher. He's a quiet fella, but because of his perceived self importance, DS gets my vote.

They are going to be cutting about half of us from CV. I personally have a long history of primary care and specialty success in a very challenging area. What is the best way to get rolled over to oncology? Thank you!

You probably wouldn't feel a thing...lol

The best place to be at BI is IPF, not oncology.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Upper management here is so clueless that once you tune them out, all you have to do is collect checks!

I'm in oncology and the responses on here crack me up. Most reps can do this job. It's not that we somehow magically posess some amazing IQ or top tier selling skills. The truth is, most of us worked hard, had other desirable qualities, and truly lucked out. It's all about who you know and what you bring to the table during an IV.

The truth is- we make more money than other specialty reps because that is what the market dictates. No matter what company you work for, oncology ALWAYS pays more. I know people that have left here for a $30,000 bump in base. There are a lot of small, start-up oncology companies that are willing to pay for oncology experience. Therefore, it is a supply and demand issue. Cardiology rep experience isn't as sought after as oncology experience is. Therefore, cardio reps aren't going to make as much. I am not saying it's right, that's just how it is. Stop trying to fight the machine and think about jumping over to oncology. I did and I have never regretted the move. As a rep, I am making what I always thought was "DM money" and I am only in my late 30's.

how do the rest of you get out of bed in the morning to sell this crap?

 

[anonymous]

Silly boy. You don't even need to get out of bed. Just pick the iPad off the nightsand and enter your fake calls. Then go back to bed.

what is the latest with this division? Heard people are leaving in droves now. What's the deal? Hated my manager, but others seemed ok.

 

[anonymous]

bonus sux. Much better biotech options hiring and giving equity positions. No to mention, they have decent drugs to sell. That is why people are leaving.

Did Flannery fire Roger H? I know they had their differences, but thought the GSK bond was stronger than that. I guess you never know who your friends are. We'll miss you RH
