<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3968574"]My wife and I moved to TX from IL in 2004 and were both in Pharma. She took a promotion that got us the move for free. I left a big pharma to go to work for a small biotech and the thougth that "TX has it easy" is true. I took over a territory that was ranked 320 out of 400 due to geographical changes and reps leaving. My team of 10 had 5 PC winners my first year (only 40 reps got PC a year). By end of year 1 I moved to 180, year 2 ranked 71, year 3 ranked 44 and ranked 7th in final year. Doctors will generally see you but the key part is that TX is just doing better financially that other states. I sold a specialty drug that was more lifestyle than life saving and many of my Docs told me their patients were paying cash or had amazing insurance that covered most of the cost. If you have a good job you don't care about the $30 copay.</p><p><br /></p><p>We are now both out of the industry and have moved on to sales with more lucrative industries. TX has a ton of opportunities and through networking with friends we made here we were able to move into sales jobs we would have never even imagined possible. The D/FW metroplex is awesome, cheap housing, no state tax, great schools, shopping and plenty of activities. WI is pretty but we have sunshine about 85% of the year and I don't care if I ever buy another winter coat in my life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
