After many months unemployed, I got an offer in another city at a pharma agency, HCP work. My last position was as a brand strategist at a well-known NYC agency. With the surge in job postings, should I hold out for a position that I'd actually be excited about? Or is the job market still super terrible? I wouldn't even mind DTC healthcare, but HCP is just not for me.

If it’s not the job you want and the work you like, in a city that doesn’t appeal to you, don’t take it. 🖤 your heart will thank you.

Wait only if you can afford to and expect you could be unemployed for still another long stretch. If that still sounds manageable then turn it down.

We have a few openings @ DDB if you’re interested! Shoot me a DM

Thanks! It's scary turning down the only offer I've had for months

Is the new agency requiring you to move now or can you stay remote for a while?

like

Remote for now and no set date to move, but they are asking to move eventually. Their best guess is October.

I think you should do whatever makes you happy, but I actually found out recently I really like HCP work! I came from non-pharma and I’m also a strategist. DM if you wanna talk or have questions.

I feel this so much. Currently interviewing for a few roles I don’t really want because I’m unemployed and I need to interview. But I’m actively hoping I don’t get an offer from any of them before I land an offer somewhere I do want to work

Same as Havas 1 (I’m also at Havas) I am working on DTC and HCP and I found HCP to be much more interesting that I imagined it would be from a strategy perspective. Happy to talk as well.

Working remote would buy you some time to figure it out before committing fully/moving no?

McKinsey & Company How likely is McKinsey to rescind an offer if there's a recession/downturn before my start date? Received an Associate offer with a start date early in the Fall. But I'm worried about the offer being rescinded due to the ongoing McK scandals/issues and a potential recession in the making (which may prompt them to freeze hiring and/or renege offers).

Has this happened to anyone before at McKinsey, offer getting rescinded due to economic/company downturn? A bit worried
