High earners - what do you spend on rent?

I feel like the rules of thumb don’t really apply past 100k. I’m currently at ~275k and paying ~2.5k in rent, looking at some places around 4k but it feels irresponsible to pay that much even though I can probably afford it. What are you all paying?

Can anyone help me find a site on Oracle EPM cloud? I guess there used to be a page where you could plug in metadata around business industry, revenue, number of users in finance... And then it would give the business case/value of implementation in dollars. It was an interface that had plug and play functionality. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hi Fishes,

I was offered RSUs for the first time as part of my compensation. I think I understand the concept as such but there are a few intricacies I was looking to clarify. Could anyone let me know if my grant date is 9th nov, 2022 and vesting period is 1 year, will I get RSUs allotted at the price of stock on grant date or vest date (in this case 9th nov, 2023)? Happy to connect in DMs as well

Thank you for your time!

I’ve bought different kinds of small pots of succulents...some thrive while some is not even though I watered them the same way and they are located at the same spot at my home. Anyone knows why?

For those who have survived a recession in this industry, can you tell us recession newbies how it went? Is pharma as recession proof as we are lead to believe?

What's the word on FCB Health? A good move to make?

My hatred of speaker decks know no bounds.

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

Is it crazy that I feel bad for very young creatives who will only know pharma adv? Especially strictly HCP.

Honestly I don’t think agencies are going to exist the way they do 15-20 years from now. The way they operate is designed for burn out for employees. I’ve worked at a total of 5 agencies across Chicago and NYC, and things end up always being toxic and the work life balance is just not sustainable nor justifiable when I look back. I mean look across this app and see what people post in regards to advertising, we deserve better.

What should a CW in NYC ask for in terms of salary from pharma?

I found out last night that a senior copywriter at my agency who does little follow-up and passes off work to others (read: me) to handle when there are questions from team members…was recently promoted to copy supervisor.

Trust me when I say that this person can’t supervise putting toothpaste on a toothbrush. Must be nice to be liked by the right people.

Can I say in my exit interview “people don’t leave bad jobs, they leave bad managers” or can I be more direct?

Is there Pharma advertising in Canada or the UK?

Any examples of Rx brands doing good social media?

Our team is hiring SAEs who can start pretty soon! Please direct message me if you are interested! Can do referrals :)

Folks without Pharma experience get dinged a lot when they try to apply for Pharma roles. Depending on the agency team structure, I’d like to think it’s better for a team to have a variety of experience (including Pharma of course)across Account/Strategy/Creative. Doesn’t everyone have to start somewhere? What is it about Pharma that is “unteachable”?

Got an interview for a Pharma Strategy role - what are some healthcare/Pharma consumer trends that aren’t overdone - personalization, beyond the pill, AI for R&D, etc?

What is the current market salary range for a copywriter in pharma? And for senior copywriters?

I’ve just started new within the pharma and health space. And most of my specialisms are within consumer SEO. I want to ask advice around websites and communications in terms of what is required.

To those hired during the COVID-WFH era, how have you adjusted to the work, team culture and company culture?

Some background on me, I got my first job outside of college during this wfh era. It was nice in the beginning, but I feel like it’s slowly chipping on my productivity.

Thoughts?
