<p>[QUOTE="anonymous, post: 6189273"]Great observations and advice! I was laid off from my company in the fall of '17 when my entire sales force was suddenly eliminated. They paid us to the end of the year and paid out our Q4 bonuses, which was fair, and we were grateful for this. However, the job search was a nightmare! Pharma is shrinking - an industry in decline. The competition for jobs is fierce! It took me a year to get back into the industry. After 6 months of being unemployed, I was forced to return to my old field, a field I last worked in 15 years ago before I entered Pharma. The job in my former career field paid half what I made in Pharma, but I had consistent work, overtime hours, and was able to pay my bills. As mentioned, I finally secured another Pharma gig after a year of being out of the industry. I had an employee referral and I knew the manager. I keep the job in my old field as a part-time side gig (some evening and weekend work) as a hedge against unemployment due to possible future pharma layoff. Good luck to everyone! I have been laid off 3 times in my 15-year Pharma career. Unemployment sucks, and the job search sucks even more these days. My advice is to secure something outside Pharma, even if it's in a low-paid field, that can provide consistent work or at least some income. And/or have passive income through investments, etc. Point is to be diversified and have more than one income stream so as not to have all your eggs in one basket. Pharma has become too volatile and there is no security in the industry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
