Does anyone work as a self contracted pharmacist or consultant pharmacist? How did you get your first role? I am working to get my consultant license. Have worked management exp. in retail and have worked as a contract pharmacist for IHS. Any advice would be wonderful.

Pivoting away from Sales: I’ve been in sales positions for 15 years, and I’m just exhausted by the role (disputing commissions, arguing about deals, all of it). I have a degree in marketing, but I am having a hard time landing interviews since I’ve never had a strictly marketing only role. Can anyone provide any advice, or has anyone successfully moved away from sales?

I graduated college 2 years ago and started working on RIA in FL as a Research Analyst. During this period I got my series 65 and brought to the company two clients (total assets of $3M). This being said, I am not very happy with my compensation. I know I am just starting my career, and that I need patience. I will like to get other people insight on how can I grow and earn more $$
Should I get a Masters in Finance?
Should I start looking for a job in a BD instead if RIA?

Hi fellow fishies - loaded question but does anyone know of any agencies (ideally in NYC) that are open to visa sponsorship? I have a good friend and former coworker who is a KICKA$$ account lead and is struggling to find a new role (needle in a haystack for sponsorship... ugh). Current place is beyond toxic. Any info/advice appreciated! Thank you 😊

Do you think culinary school is worth it? I've been a waiter for a year but really want to be a chef. The people I work with say to just start in the kitchen and work my way up but I think culinary school might get me where I want to be faster. The cost is pretty insane though. Any advice?

Hi Fishes,

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services. My current work exp is 5 years across 2 big 4s and a KPO in India. How much hike should I quote if I clear the interviews here? Presently my CTC is around early INR1000Kp.a. Also are they giving options of a permanent WFH post covid? If not can I work from some other office such as HYD, BLR instead of NCR?

Is there a path for a 45yr old male to move into Machine learning space at this stage of life? I am good at learning, understand data modeling quite well. If you have done it, can you please share your approach in making this change and how are you doing it after the switch.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

Any Sloanies or Sloan Admit’s in this bowl who wouldn’t mind sharing some tips for the interview? Wondering how technical it may get or what general vibe/questions asked are. Thanks so much!

SAP 🐠, If you have a chance for a “do-over” in your SAP career, what would you specialize? OTC? PTP? Finance?

How do approach your boss and tell her you are unhappy because you feel like you haven’t received recognition for your award winning campaign that has won 20+ awards and you have seen your other coworkers get promoted while they fail to properly recognize you in front of your team. Thank you

Dear Creative Directors who’s only talent is showing up to meeting with a full repertoire of buzzwords, die slow. Thanks, everyone.

What is with potential employers asking if I have kids? This is the third time this year it’s happened. Doesn’t everyone know it’s illegal, discriminatory, and potentially EXTREMELY insensitive/offensive depending what my experiences may be, which they have no idea?

Does anyone actually enjoy taking time off? I feel like I just compress my stress and hours into the week before and the week after, but it sums up to the same stress and hours.

Just found out there’s an ECD in a big NYC agency who claims to have won awards, but the name doesn’t pop up in any of the archives.

How do they get away with it?

Anytime a client says “thanks for the creative thinking” just know they’re going to kill everything.

I have an internal interview for a potential promotion soon. Any tips on how I should treat it vs. a regular interview?

The hiring process is dated and exhausting

a. No less than 3-5 interviews. If you’re in tech, that final “on-site” is likely a test or presentation equivalent to hours of work.
b. Then, the thank you notes to eeeevvveerrryyyooonnee you interviewed with
c. The anxiety-ridden waiting game
d. The offer + negotiations
e. References
f. Background check

Hey New Yorkers! Have a celebratory team win and want to take my team out (6-8 of us) in NYC for a nice day. Everyone is vaccinated but want to keep things outdoors. Any fund recommendations?

If you are about to give your two weeks notice but you still have vacation days remaining, is it weird to ask to use it during these two weeks? I don’t want to do anything that feels weird. But also don’t want to lose my vacation days. Can you advise?

Had my review (it was good) and manager says that they’ve put me up for promotion/raise saying that there’s no guarantee / not sure if it will get approved — wondering what that means? 🤔 (I’ve been at the company ~2 yrs without any raise/bonuses)

I got a verbal offer from a WPP agency today. The role's budgeted salary is 5k less than my desired salary.
The recruiter can get me closer but still not at my desired salary. Otherwise - it would have to go through a long approval process with no guarantee that the salary would even be OK'd.
I'm coming from a small agency, so I could be wrong - but I don't want to sell myself short by accepting the first salary they offer. Do I have any room to negotiate? Or is that risky?
