Agreed. J&J says they want the best of the best but are they prepared to match our current benefits. If you want CV experience, thrombosis experience, afib launch expertise and a Rolodex full of customers then they will need to match/ exceed salaries and vacation.
2 weeks of vacation to reps with this experience is insulting on top of the fact that the drug has yet to be approved and will be second to market. Anyone with this experience will have 4 -5 weeks vacation. Pony up J&J or a whole bunch of us that you are courting will walk. To all those candidates in the pool hold steady and demand your 5 weeks. If we band together they will have to compromise otherwise we walk and they will hire all their second candidates resulting in a second rate launch, lack of experience, contacts and ultimately minimizing speed of impact. A pay for A play! Most of us want to make this move but the benefits have to be at a minimum equal.
