As mentioned in the inaugural posting of this blog, it is important to know why you really want to get out of pharmaceutical sales. The last thing you want to do is leave pharmaceutical sales and get into another position that has the same challenges and issues as your current position in pharmaceutical sales. For instance, if you want to get out of pharmaceutical sales because you are tired of calling on doctors/other prescribers and "wooing" their staff, then it doesn't make sense to get into biotech, medical device, or assisted living/hospice sales because you will be doing the same thing. On the other hand, if you want to get out of pharmaceutical sales because you aren't challenged in your current role or feel that you are not truly having an impact with patients, then maybe you SHOULD consider biotech, medical device or assisted living/hospice sales. This post is designed to get you thinking about WHY you really want to "get off the pharm" and to assess your true motives behind making a change. Once you are clear on why you really want to make a change you will be in a better position to move to Step 2: Assess What Else You Might Want to Do.
