Boy life sure is tough in the pharma industry. I'm a sales rep in the automotive aftermarket world, and do the same exact things as you pharma guys, making a nice 80k, plus car, all of that.. And guess what...it's NO different.
It's repetitive, it's a game of managing your time to appear busier than you really are, you schmooze people in base jobs, to hear the decision maker ramble on about how much the business sucks and is down, and then log it in sales force, and repeat.
I'd love to know what a real job out there is because I've had several of them, including a stint as a police officer. You want to talk about a job with pressure AND dealing with the bottom 5% of society, vs the top you guys deal with...
In short, an outsider looking at these boards wondering how to get into pharma or med devices looks at these posts and sees a bunch of pissy braggarts... If you hate the job and the industry, then do everyone a favor and go get that real job where you keep your head high, and GTFO of the industry, because I sure as hell would love a crack at pissing and moaning about how the job sucks, while making a cool 50k+ more than I do now for the same job with a different product.
Do me a fair, give me a connection to a hiring manager In your company, and I'll do the rest to turn your territory around after you leave for those elusive greener pastures. Ou guys are so bad ass posting anonymously about how bad your anonymous employer is in your anonymous region.
Quit your bitching and make room for someone who wants in and would be tickled for 125k a year. Go get a mobile car wash franchise or open a few subways and be happy then.
