You don't need a degree if you have experience and a track record. The easiest way is to get your foot into the door through some connection. Doesn't matter what company, as long as in the pharmaceutical industry. Later you can switch.

That requirement will vary by employer. But to qualify for a sales role in a pharmaceutical company, you'll likely need a bachelor's degree. With that much experience, though, you might just make the grade.

Sales pros are welcome everywhere

From my experience, in every interview I have ever been in for pharma sales, a college degree is needed. It’s unfortunate but most do require it

Hello Sharks,

I have been working for a Jaipur based Digital Marketing Agency for 2.5 years now. Overall I have 5 YoE in the industry.

I tired to switch the company for Growth & Learning, Got 60k + WFH offer. My current company matched the offer (60k + WFH). The company helped me a lot in my bad times (Covid, Mom's illness, my operation etc).
Can I think of switching the company after 6 months and expect 90k-100 from the next company?
