CD who decided to try strategy for 1.5 yrs. Was recruited for the role I am in, but really unhappy. The role is not what it seemed and moved from non-health to health for it. Advice on how to go back?

Woof, you went from non health creative role to health strategy role and you want back? That’s tough. Freelance, I guess, play the long game and wait for someone to ask you to stay on at an agency?

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer

It has become quite the burden.
