Maybe they offer a relocation package but i always wonder who Abbvie is going to find with 7+ years of pharma agency experience living in Irvine, CA...

same goes for that deeply underpaid GSW santa monica position.

Someone I know moved from NY to work at AbbVie. They paid for relocation but I believe they had to pay it back because they left before their 3 year mark.

That’s a big move though. I’d have try to stay to hit the 3 year mark at least.

There are quite a few Pharma/healthcare companies in Irvine for them to poach from. J&J, Edward’s, Masimo to name a few.

At one point, they actually opened up to candidates who were not local, either working remotely or working out of one of their local offices (which happened to be very close to me). They seemed really interested and interviewed me for several positions, had at least six if not more interviews, including the big cheeses there, all with really great feedback—but a lot of dithering and delays in between interviews, so the whole process took about four months from first contact. In the end, they decided they didn’t want somebody who wasn’t in Irvine, after all. Was one of the biggest wastes of time in my entire career, as far as job searching goes.

Worked at Ignite Health 15 years ago and it was filled with talented agency folks. Right near the Spectrum mall.

Allergan (now part of AbbVie) is the big pharma fish in Irvine. Santa Monica is closer to Amgen. Local agency service offices for either would be one source of candidates.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
