First I’ve ever heard of a “junior group copy supervisor” 😂

At EY is I was reimbursed for a stationary bike 2 years ago. Would EY reimburse me for a road bike this coming year? There's a stipulation that says every 5 years but I'm not sure if that means for another stationary bike or if I can get a road bike and be reimbursed.

EYP and Strategy& fishes, what sort of work do you do in the Life Sciences space (specifically Big Pharma)? And what sort of exits into industry have you seen your former colleagues make?

How do y'all approach getting freelance gigs?

Anyone here offering to give feedback for HBS + GSB essays? Would love a third party opinion. Happy to pay a fee too, of course.

First time working with a celebrity for one of our campaigns. Anyone have any tips or advice? A little nervous here 😅

If you could change anything to increase minority representation in marketing, what would you change? I think I'd want at least 2-3 minority employees in creative leadership positions to make sure things like colorism in ads less likely to pass the final edit.

Looking at switching to tech consulting within EY. Can someone break down the big differences between the different areas of practice (eg., Tech transformation, DET, etc..)? Especially information regarding the kind of work and clients.

Working on a global project as an EM that has team members in multiple US time zones and client stakeholders teams across global time zones. Does anyone have any tips to not burn out working 24/7? Would be best if I was traveling for this project but alas here we are.

are there any boutique consulting firms in Dubai? I work in ICON, a CRO similar to IQVIA. ICON doesn't have office in Dubai but I know IQVIA has.. I am looking at other options - what other life science or health care oriented consulting firms are there in Dubai?

Anyone here 40s never married, no kids?

I work at a small, 3 lawyer firm. One of the lawyers is not barred in the state we practice. Because of this, the managing attorney has been having him draft motions and other legal documents and use my name and bar number and having me file them because I will have to appear in court for the matter. Is this normal? I am not provided time to review the materials before I file them so I end up working longer days because I am nervous to file something using my name and bar number.

Who has the Descovy business?

Is Havas Health and You different from Havas Life? What are the main differences, culturally and business-wide?

Been at the company for a year - switched teams at my 7th month mark. My annual review is coming up. How do I negotiate for a raise/promo?

How’s McCann Health doing these days? Culture/businesses/client?

Anybody know of any art director positions open?

Friendly tip: Don't burn bridges even with those who are leaving - our industry is small (even in Manhattan) and you will almost certainly see that person again if you stay in pharma

Do you know of a sci-hub alternative for free journal articles?

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Any companies launching a product who will be AOR, & currently looking to fill an SAE/SAM role? In the job market and would love to connect.

Has anybody moved into Pharmaceutical Marketing from Consumer Marketing? Thinking about it as a potential career decision. Understand the biggest challenge in my market is the inability to market to consumers.

Could someone please explain the creative hierarchy in pharma? In general market the roles are normally: JR CW, CW, SR CW, ACD, CD, GCD, ECD. How are creative supervisor roles the same/different? Thx!

IMO I’ve never seen more pharma jobs open. And I keep seeing so many people in non-pharma looking for new jobs... well, we’ve got them. What’s the disconnect? Why do you think people won’t make the switch?

Any info on the agency Heartbeat in NY?

What’s the average salary range for a GAS?
