Does pharma really make that much more money? Not having much luck with creative agencies and tempted to “sell out” for a great salary

Depends on the brand and agency. I did receive a bonus and 3% raise while working at a pharma agency.

I just sold out (not Pharma). Highly recommended.

What would you consider a great salary?

I work in Pharma and compared to a few ppl I know who weren’t — it was slightly higher once I got to a Senior title.

Share your best work tips and tricks!

Don’t know how I didn’t think to do this years ago, but that’s about 50 fewer distractions each day since I’m one of those people who checks every email notification.
