This is a very hard time for all I am one of the very very lucky ones to be kept and it does not make me better than anyone. I think we are all a little defensive in these hard times. I am not going to lie I did get tired of opening up these posts and hearing the contract team tell us how they were staying and we were going because we are over paid. But in the end anyone getting cut is a horrible thing. Its time to stop all the finger pointing and realize its and ugly time. Not only in pharma but in the job market as a whole. And in the end you need to be just as lucky as you are good. I wish you all the best and hope all of you that were let go find and even better job because anyone out of a job is a horrible thing.

Did you happen to think, for one second, that it may have been ONE CSO rep who kept posting that??? I don't think all CSO reps are on this board or on any board. I feel very badly for the CSO reps as mine was really good and came from big pharma. I better rep than many that I know. Good luck to her!

Nothing in the pipeline? What division is getting the new anticoagulant?
 


Do not get so hung up on pipeline. Concerta was not a pipeline drug and 10yrs and billions of dollars later. Well ahh. So pipline is not always as big of deal as people think when you work for a company with the buying power of J&J.

Then maybe J&J isn't so interested in keeping pharma alive, all those laid off over the last few years didn't see pipeline OR "buying power" in action.
 




Big Pharma to CSO to rapid promotions w mid-sized co.

Laid off. I won President's Club and megabonus in a new territory that was tanking when I took it. Made no difference.

Started working job search full-time, 8:30 to 5:30. Accepted a position with a CSO after a few months, salary went from $64K to $42K.

After taxes, there was not a huge difference in take-home pay. When the contract expired, the contracting pharma company hired me.

Rapid promotions ensued, and within a year my salary/position exceeded anything I earned working for the company that let me get away!

Keep hope alive - working for a CSO can be a productive interim position.
