I’d stay at JnJ if it’s the best job ever and you like your team. This may not be the case at Novartis. I’m also more bullish on JnJ stock vs Novartis
I would take Novartis
Mentor
Stick with J&J! Novartis will work you to the bone and then toss you aside like last week’s egg salad sandwich.
I have friends that went to Novartis from there and then went back. He said they worked him like a dog. Your experience can be different. Novartis seems like the better deal, but it is an unknown for you. Tough choice!
Have you tried negotiating with JnJ with NVS offer? Also, even if it says 4 days a week, if your team is more into workshops and what not, then if you are not in person, you will miss a lot of coffee chats and opportunity to build relations. I have worked at both the organization and had a very similar experience in regards to WLB, team dynamics and growth opportunities. What are the growth opportunities for you at JnJ?
Also, LTI at 10-12% should be negotiated for sure. You don't accept an offer without a negotiation irrespective of what
Make the switch
I would not leave JNJ if you have pension right now.
You vest at 5 years and I just hit 5 years. I’m also part of the “new” pension which isn’t as good as the old one. But it’s still 15% of your salary a year put into the fund.
I’m assuming the job at Novartis is an increase in title. Take it and if you don’t like it, at least you can look for something new and already be at a higher title
Looking to get a role at JNJ. Let me know if we can connect!
Id love to connect! Looking to get a job in product marketing for a healthcare company
where are you located? US?
4 days in office a month doesn't sound right. Recruiters and current employees have mentioned 12 days a month- were you able to negotiate?
