Switching from implant sales rep to Pharma sales rep

I got a call today for an offer to get into the Pharma side of the business. I've been on a commissions only based pay for 9 years now, selling total joints and trauma hardware. I interned for a big 5 implant company after a 3 year non paid apprenticeship with one of their reps. Then after college got a commission based job & my career has been amazing.

The big Pharma company I just interviewed with is offering a MASSIVE salary & huge bonuses with full benefits/car/expense account/ the works.

I've never had a guaranteed income per month. So this is VERY appealing to me. I know the guy is be working for, my questions is---

Has anyone on here sidestepped from implant sales into Pharma? If so- how did you like it? Regrets? Pros/cons?

Thanks!

 

Have you worked in device sales before? I sell total knees, total hips, plates & screws. Everything for broken bones... and this industry is a bunch of snakes as well. Some of the most back stabbing crap I've ever seen! It's insane.

But now I am going into the final interview with a big company... it's between me and one other person.... 150k salary, plus all benefits and 33,500$ bonus if quota is met. Territory is entire state.

It sounds like a REALLY good offer and the lady who left this position worked in it for 8 years.

Still think it's unstable? Moving into management.... that's something I have no idea how to do...
