Has anyone ever worked in account management both in the states and in the UK? I have an opportunity to move to London from the east coast and am going back and forth on taking it. Any insight into what being an AM is like across the pond - the good, bad, and in between, is appreciated!

Would you move with your company or change jobs altogether? The difference would be perhaps more company to company in the UK, especially if you're moving business size. Bigger shops will likely have more processes and structure at AM level while smaller ones likely have those as catchall roles.
Cost of living in the UK is something to consider so I would add that to the mix as well.

Double taxation isn’t something that came to mind! This is so helpful, thank you so much.

Haven’t done it myself, but friends who have say UK account management is slower-paced but more formal. Less hustle culture, more “let’s circle back next week.” But UK cost of living + taxes? Woof. Definitely weigh that before hopping the pond.

Already in NYC so my current life is woof. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.
