Not a coworker, not a competitor. Why or why wouldn't you date a pharma rep?
Would you or have you dated another pharma rep?

I know of several couples who have dated who are both drug reps. A few are competitors, but the others weren't.
Nope. Job has too much instability and little value. If both partners work in pharma, it would be hard to feel financially secure. The future is bleak for anyone in industry today.
When I was in my early 30's and still single I saw the Jansen rep out at a bar one night. We started talking cause we saw each other in the field from time-to-time but never really talked except to say high. I banged her six way to Sunday for about 6 months. She was sweet! Wonder whatever happened to her?
I have several friends with benefits. Absolutely. I dont really call this dating.
A good friend and former colleague of mine married another rep that he met in one of the offices we called on. They've been married for around 10 years and have a couple of kids. He's moved on to a big time management position and she still does field sales. They make around $250k/year. Not a bad idea to date someone with common interests.
Big time management position?
I LMAO, and LOL'ed and ROTFL and HAHAHAHA.
Thank you for the comedy relief!
What's so funny? You wish you had his job and salary.
sure I do.
Big time management is not district or regional managment.
Also, a lot of stress comes with that political, corporate job. And stress is considered the number cause of death.
So, don't think money is everything, like you have been taught!
$250K you are buying a starter home in my City. One spouse can make pharma money but the other needs to go make real money!
Stress??? Stress is when your the lowly rep expected to make 10 calls a day and grow your sales 30% vs. last year when you just lost your top customer due to reasons beyond your control like formulary or supply issues.
When you're the rising star in the company with the big promotion and youngest in the company, that empowerment, not stress.
Aren't you in sales so you can be promoted to a position that offers more responsibility?
Well, he doesn't live in your city. And $250k is on the low end. I was being conservative. If I was making his money I'd already have my house paid off and the kid's college funds would allow them to go to any school they wanted. And no, I don't live in the middle of nowhere.
I have 3 good "friends with benefits". Lunch love 3 or 4 times a week
