Merck Neurology-I am a young sales manager at 32 years old and earn 165k base with an average bonus of 55K. Although I receive a boatload of options, they haven't been worth much recently. My average rep with 5-8 years experience earns about 110k base with an average of 35K bonus annually. The top tier performers receive options,trips,etc.
Well, we are still here and no plans to downsize...as matter of fact, just formed a new division and talks right now of expanding Key Account Manager position (probably by only 10-15). Reps make very good money, all have base salaries about 100....those of us that have been here from the beginning are nearing 120,000 in base...that's why its such a challenge to leave. Its not an easy job...so, if you can take the heat and the money is worth it to you, check the website for openings.

Serono's for sale. Half of them will be gone in 9-12 months.
You'd think that with the crap that they're asked to tell neuros, that they'd be better compensated. It can't be easy coming up with fiction after fiction about a drug that shouldn't even be on the market. Imagine a drug that got approval simply because it doesn't have the same side effects as the drugs currently available that actually work. Not that it has NO side effects, but that it has different side effects.
Now that's funny Biogen Car Salesman!
For the rest of the people and again trying to focus these jealous Biogen reps we at Teva make a very good base plus great bonus. Not to mention our MS Injectable Copaxone is the Number 1 prescribed product in the United States for MS. As you can imagine when your Number 1 your competitors like to take shots at you. Biogen has a very ineffective agent for MS that makes patients sick after every injection. Not to mention Tysabri which has killed 4 patients to date and approximately 24 cases of PML world wide.
Base: 96K Bonus: Unlimited Plan: 50K
Lilly? Shitaquel going generic and Cymbarfa is all that is left
