The Soul of Biotech

On Friday afternoon, I formally accepted an offer to transfer into the Enbrel Derm sales force, serving in the Portland, Oregon territory. Relocation timing and details are still pending, but I’ll probably get up there by October or so.

I’m incredibly excited to learn how to sell effectively. Both my district manager and regional director have vast reservoirs of sales experience within Amgen, so I’m confident that I’ll learn a great deal from the feet of a couple of masters.

Plus, this will be an enormous personal adventure. I don’t know a single person in Portland. In fact, I’ve never set foot in Oregon in my life. And I can’t wait to find out what’s waiting for me when I get there.

(So far, people tell me: “beer,” “rain,” and “hipsters.”)
