Ladies! I’m looking for some group counsel. Given the same salary~, 401k, benefits match. Would you take 1. An ACD job where you know you’ll coast / WLB, work is meh, and is a bit chaotic. Or 2. ACD that has a lot of opps to make awesome work, hustle, with the potential of a career catapult. Or 3. a title bump to CD, salesy, and lower pay. Sincerely, a conflicted mid 30s female, thinking of starting a fam. Genuinely looking for any help at this fork in the road. TIA ✨

I moved to NYC a few years ago, and most of the jobs I have found here have been in Healthcare, even tho I have lots of Consumer/CPG experience under my belt.

While it pays the bills, I can’t stop thinking that is not what I moved to this city for. I have bigger career goals, and I want to achieve them.

So, if you’re looking for an ACD-level Art Creative to work on CONSUMER BRANDS, let’s chat. I’d love to walk you through my book, and even work on an assignment.

ACD/Art here considering to transition to Pharma. Can someone please explain me the difference between Wellness, Healthcare and Pharma? Also, what do you like and/or hate the most about this category? Coming from Consumer, I’m still not sure if it will be the best move for me. Thanks in advance.

I know these are tuff times, but I wonder if there’s a good consumer-focused / integrated agency hiring senior creatives (ACD/Sr AD). I’ve been looking for new opportunities on LinkedIn, but all I‘be seen is in the healthcare space... I know that is better than being unemployed, but it’s not my cup tea. Any leads?

I’m having a hard time fitting in w/ my fellow teachers. I’ve been here almost 2 years & I feel like I’m “tolerated” rather than accepted. I came in as the same time as another teacher & they seem to have accepted her. I was out last year on maternity leave. Before I left I almost considered them friends but when I came back I felt like everything changed. They didn’t really help me & threw me to the wolves. I feel alone this year & sometimes dread going to work & getting the silent treatment.
