Is it worth it to exit for pharma sales? I know some people have made the switch. The money is tempting but I can't help wondering if it's just a "grass is greener" situation

I did that , even tho I preferred it than retail it was not in my nature to push drug sales. Left it after 2 years and followed another path

Feel free to DM me, sorry just saw this.

It depends what you are looking for in your professional career whether it’s short or long term. “Worth it” holds a different meaning depending on the person.

Do it as your entrance into industry. Make the connections you need to, then pivot. From there you can go into Medical Affairs like MSL or Regulatory like pharmcovigilance. Any chance you get to switch to industry take it, even if it is a pay cut and even more if it is a pay raise.

Hi Team,
I just joined 2 month back in
Walmart, but I’m not liking the project and job location.
I asked Hr to relocate or project change but they are not ok.

Then I started looking other opportunity and got an offer.
Should I go with the offer. Will it impact professional career?
Or Walmart will block me for future opportunities?

Please team suggest if anyone faced such situation.

I feel like a lot of the discourse about pharmacists lately ignores that we are often just as informed or even more informed about the drugs physicians are handing out than they are.
