I think the prudent move is to wait before joining any company to launch an antibiotic. I agree that it takes 12 - 18 months if not longer to get things rolling. Usually in that time the initial hires get frustrated and leave or get fired. It's much smarter to take a wait and see approach and join in the 2nd wave. By doing so you come in and look like a hero when sales pick up because the timing is right. The wait and see approach also gives you more insight into the leadership, culture and marketing strategies of the company. Jumping into the first wave here at Durata as well as The Medicines Company was just plain risky. With the benefit of hindsight I'm sure most that are here or at Medicines would not have made the move if they had the information they have now. Live and learn I guess. Next time around I wait for the 2nd wave to join a new company.
