Do you ever worry that you won't be taken seriously as a creative because you work in Pharma? I know it's not the best, but I do sometimes feel embarrassed when I am out with friends who for example work for fashion etc. I am happy here though

I did, and then I stopped worrying and learned to love the paycheck. 😉

Seriously though — don’t feel like you’re any less of a creative because you have pharma experience. Our creativity and ability as “creatives” isn’t defined by our jobs. But hey, if you want to diversify your book with non-pharma work, it never hurts.

I used to feel that way before realizing my salary is $50k higher because of it LOL, at the end of the day it’s just a job and if that means I can live more comfortably in pharma then that’s where I’m staying

I could point out every category out there and name the most embarrassing advertising ever made within every one of them. On the other hand, there’s some great pharma out there. Look at Cannes.

Just interviewed a candidate who was in the bathroom when I called and proceeded with the interview. I could hear the toilet flushing and hand dryer in the background. Kids these days.

Workplaces are inherently hostile towards people who genuinely have ADHD. I really think agencies/HR needs more training in how to work with people have ADHD.

How manageable is a pure m&a practice? I’m currently in securities and considering switching to m&a because it seems predictable. But I hear from my m&a friends that it’s still rough.. thoughts? I’m sick of the true emergencies and weekend work.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

Do Data Analytics careers exist at Google ? I’ve mostly seen openings for technical areas be fully software engineering. Are there areas that utilize Data Viz and Analytics (Tableau, SQL, R) rather than just purely software? If so; what are those roles called?

Do you ever worry that you won't be taken seriously as a creative because you work in Pharma? I know it's not the best, but I do sometimes feel embarrassed when I am out with friends who for example work for fashion etc. I am happy here though
