(US) Between a field based account director vs home office director - is there a significant difference in earning potential? I’m at cross roads of looking to either progress to director level or take a lateral move to gain field experience (which I currently don’t have). Being a woman in Pharma, my realistic aspiration is a VP position as a team lead potentially.

The field experience might take you further in the long run! ESP as a woman, not too many females in field team leadership. You can brag about it on future VP interviews: “when I was in the field” or “back when I carried the bag” You also just learn a lot in the field/when boots are on the ground. Great wlb too

There’s a reason people make life long careers out of pharma sales 😏. Lots of it depends on your territory. If it’s condensed, you’ve got it good. Most companies just care about calls per day for example I need to have 4 calls a day then my day is done pretty much. Not hard if you see 2 docs in each office. WLB is amazing! Any specific questions? Happy to DM
