Been working in healthcare (some pharma and some not-so-heavy shit) for 4+ years and have minimal experience on “regular” brands. Can I ever get out of healthcare and be taken seriously creatively?

And reconfigure your salary expectations. Likely, you have been overpaid for your position at the healthcare agencies you’ve worked in before. It sucks, but it’s the only way healthcare shops can get decent talent.

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.

Any financial planners that can provide some insights/advice? My wife and I (upper 20s) have a 1.5 year old.

I’ve maxed 401k, Roth, spousal IRA. $100k should give us 2 years worth of living expense if anything negative happened between food and mortgage.

Need some FIRE advice please. I am currently 25 M, with 125k in savings across my 401k/ESPP/Personal Brokerage Acct. etc. I have no debt. Base salary of 125k with up to 25% bonus.

I contribute 20% to my pre tax (employer matches up to 6%) and 5% in my Roth 401k and 10% in my ESPP.

Salary check. I’m a Marketing Director for a small SaaS startup. I make $95k with no benefits. I’m the only person in my marketing department and also have my foot in the sales department, growing both departments by myself. I have 7 years of professional experience in marketing and sales. There are some red flags at this company and I’ve been here for almost 11 months. If I were to start looking for another job, I’m thinking I can apply for $130k-$150k, any thoughts?

Starting at Bain out of undergrad in a month.

Plan to recruit for PE and maybe GE.

Anything I need to do? Currently thinking:

do a PEG rotation after 6 months on the job, do it for 6 months ( 1 year if I don’t hate it). Learn to paper LBO, take a modeling course for real LBOs.

Anything else? Do consultants recruit in their second year of the AC program (compared to bankers’ first year recruiting)? Do I need to network like for undergrad roles?

A CD of my old agency doesn’t make cool stuff (he’s a ‘keeping shitty clients happy with mediocre work’ guy) but behaves on social media like he’s the man. He takes credit for the agency’s best work, or at least makes it look like he contributed.

No one in his team is happy and a lot of people burn out, but on social, he talks about work life balance as if he is one of the good guys.

It bothers me. He’s presenting himself as a great guy on social while reality is something else. 😡
