y'all I am sad to report that we have got some fraud in the clinical research
industry someone has written in and I know me don't record videos this late
I normally record them in the afternoon but I am so irritated right now that I
had to record this video I cannot believe what just happened
we're not even gonna do an intro we're gonna go ahead and get right into it cuz
I cannot believe what I just heard now I knew corporate America was brutal
I'm sure you guys know that too I knew that as well
getting into the corporate world I knew it's brutal but one thing I always
thought was that for the most part it's a meritocracy for the most part I
thought the best person for the job is gonna get the job for the most person I
thought the person that does the most work is gonna get promoted faster I know
that's not always the case but I thought you put your head down you did your work
you'll get to where you want to go well I have some absolutely disgusting news
from somebody in the clinical research industry I'm not going to name this
company's name because I might even go in a little bit further but just know
that there are some frauds out here and when you don't have any leverage I've
talked about this so many times on the channel and I need to probably do
another video on this also but if you're too desperate they're gonna run right
over you if you have no leverage I've done a video you if you have it if you
have no cash if you're too desperate for a job they're gonna run right over you
this is disgusting we talk about all the time on the clinical research on
clinical research how you need experience to get it
the field how once you get experience your life changes
I cannot believe so I'm let me go ahead and get into it so this person writes in
EC RG so I got an offer from blank company for a coordinator position
however they did not give me the salary I originally wanted now knowing this
person a little bit they've emailed him before they got a year of experience
alright they've got a year of experience in the clinical research industry now
typically with the year of experience you can go on to do kind of what what
you want you can go be a CRA you can go down the project management route but
you're definitely due for big pay raise after a year in the industry you can go
to any company you want for a job they'll have a job for you the way it is
right now so they did not give me the salary I originally requested okay
that's fine sometimes you don't get the salary you want for whatever reason
maybe they want to bring in a whole bunch of other candidates at the same
time maybe they just don't have it this is a little bit of a smaller situation
so it is what it is but when I counter-offered this is her speaking
again but when I counter-offered again to the salary given to me by the
recruiter they said they couldn't do the salary I requested now they went back
and forth a little bit in the midst of the emails they had accidentally sent
the other candidates offer letter who they gave my requested salary for the
same position now I'm already heated at this point because this person's got
experience and they said they couldn't give her that salary so why can't the
salary should be for what the job entails maybe if you don't have
experience you get paid a little bit less but that should be the only reason
so then she goes on to say I looked her up on LinkedIn
of course she had absolutely no experience so they're gonna give someone
without any experience in this position and this is a coordinator position this
is one of the hardest positions in clinical research I've talked about this
all the time I typically as a monitor only deal with
two studies one study to one study when I was in the project management side I
dealt with three studies max three four max actually I've heard some study
coordinators are doing up to nine studies at one time and they're gonna
throw someone in there without any experience and give her more than the
person with the experience I'm at a loss for words for this
this is absolutely grotesque I cannot believe this is happening so she looks
her up on LinkedIn no experience so obviously she declined now if it was me
I might have said something a little snarky back to them after they messed up
because they they should not have sent sent me the other person to offer letter
with with my with the salary that I had requested and I'm able to back up
absolutely disgusting but unfortunately it's all a game it is all a game and
those that play the game end up winning and those that don't play the game end
up losing
Wow so I might have a backup video as I get more of the story I just had to come
in here and mic up real quick because I cannot believe that they wanted to give
someone like imagine if you've got a year of experience under your belt and
they want to give someone with zero experience the position you want with
more with more pay what that does think it makes sense this is absolute fraud
absolute fraud but you know what they're gonna take the L and in in in the long
run because I mean the person with the experience is gonna be able to do the
job better and more efficiently I mean that's that's just that's just dumb
hiring if you asked me because study coordinator is not an easy position to
do not in the long run not not easy at all and during if someone with zero
experience that position is and I'm to be honest with you it's not even really
an entry-level position study coordinator typically you're like a
research assistant when you get in or study coordinator assistant but to be
thrown in there as a study coordinator is not an entry-level position so it's
their loss and I just I just can't believe that happen
hopefully this this organization is able to give this give this person emailed in
an explanation for this because this is just I was now fraud and they might get
a nasty review on the glass door I cannot believe I cannot believe this Wow
alright so this is how we plan now so you guys out there that are applying to
jobs make sure you have that in the back of your head that you know whether you
really really need to take that job if they're not giving you the salary that
you counteroffer with now we're gonna do a
second topic we're gonna have someone come on about negotiating your salary
we'll have someone who's really good at that come in and talk about negotiating
your salary in clinical research because I mean they're probably people that are
way more experienced with that than I am and we're gonna we're gonna have it on
here and we're gonna do it right because this is absolutely grotesque and you
know typically recruiters make it so you're not even supposed to see what you
know other candidates are getting that was clearly a just straight-up mistake
on their part but when you look behind the curtain and see what's going on
that's absolutely disgusting and I'm just at a loss for words guys thanks for
listening goodbye
