Base at $145k, target bonus at 22%, car allowance is generous, ESPP, strong 401k match.
Lilly pays better than almost anyone right now, especially in the GLP-1 territory roles.
But the scrutiny is relentless.
Weekly call activity reviews, GPS tracking, managers in your territory constantly.
If you miss a week because of life stuff you hear about it.
The compliance environment is also notably stricter than peers.
Everything is documented and reviewed.
I appreciate the pay but I understand why some people burn out.
If you need autonomy to thrive, Lilly right now is probably not your best fit.
