Have you ever worked on pharma/healthcare projects that you personally disagree with (whether i.e how they do business, their political affiliation, their drug pricing, etc)? What was that project like and how did you deal with it?

Hi Fishes,

Can you please let me know what Health and Dental insurance you use.

Thank you

I need financial advise.. I have not invested into any RRSP or pension plans. I honestly feel behind now and I don’t know much about how to get started. Can anyone share their thoughts and strategies for leveraging company’s matching programs?

Edit: What is the best way to tell a PM or a PEP that this project isn't for you, and that it doesn't align with your career goals without getting kicked off too soon to negatively impact your utilization? The project is ABSOLUTELY horrendous and a mess. It is glorified admin work which is not what I want to do. Is there a way to tell that to senior management without getting a negative reaction?

Currently a JR PM at an ad agency in NYC. Working on social media for my client. Really don't enjoy it. Previous experience is in experiential marketing and really loved that because I knew humans would interact, touch, and feel the things I helped create.
Not attached to advertising, I crave work that makes me think critically and isn't redundant. I am a huge people person and love interacting with people. I am wondering if anyone has career paths or style of work that is more inline with me 🙂

@Elevance health Hello, I’m considering applying for the Behavioral Health Director position in Iowa. I noticed a lot of positions suddenly opened in this area. Is this a new coverage area or has there been any other changes in the company? Also, any idea what the salary would be for this position. Thank you.

Are cover letters these days needed or even looked at for any non-creative advertising/marketing roles like client-side, media buying/strategy/planning, consulting etc?

I’ve been seeing this a lot more recently and just had to make a thread about it. I refuse to believe that anyone on here has actually been asked to work a 100hr week. People come onto this thread with legitimate questions and concerns and I just see people trying to scare them out of public which inevitably makes it worse for everyone else who sticks around. Even an 80 hour week is debatable and that is the absolute top. Stop trying to be an attention getter. We work, but not 24/7.

Can someone tell about the Tiger Analytics Certification?

I recently received an email regarding it and it says unless we pass the certification, we won't be allowed in client projects.

What kind of questions are asked for Data Science? How to prepare for it?

Our client wants industry specific benchmarks for CTR. Do any of you use industry specific benchmarks to judge performance? If so what do you use to get them? We mainly run on social.

Just got approved for a transfer to a different office in a few months. When should I let my current team members know of my move? I assume I will get new client engagements at the new office.

I am trying for onsite in my current project but it seems like no one is taking it seriously, there is no chance of that happening anytime soon in this project. Should I switch my company?

What is a "good enough" reason to reach out to a partner at your firm? There is a partner at my firm in a completely different practice who comes from the same hometown as me (think ~5k population). I'm interested in hearing about his journey, but I don't want to do the type of work he does. Is it worth it for me to reach out?

If you had financial sponsorship from the firm and acceptance into 2 of the top 5 schools would you do an emba (FYI there would be no relief on sales targets / practice p&ls or Billability )?

I’m currently working with a senior level HR candidate. This individual has a doctorate in business with a focus in HR, her SPHR, Federal, and private sector experience at the singer level, and has a fabulous personality. I’m curious is anyone else having difficulties play some candidates like this? At this point I’m starting to think it’s racial or her sex based of the lack of interest in this candidate. Any thoughts?

I have a Masters and 8+ years working in an external relations role in a hospital. I have since moved to the payor side. Would it be valuable to pursue another graduate degree (MPH or Dr PH) in order to advance in the payor world or would more education actually hurt my chances?
By advancement, I mean I would earn the degree and then try to find a job at a competitor. My leaders either don’t have graduate degrees or they don’t seem to value them.

Friendly late 20s woman fish here who hasn’t been feeling good enough to be in consulting or run a business. I don’t know what’s going on but even with all of my accomplishments I feel worthless. I’m in therapy so I’m sure there’s a rainbow somewhere but I’m wondering if anyone else has felt like this and what you’ve done to get past it? I’ve thought of reading more books on my craft and doing affirmations but I’m like internally smh at everything.

Team I have some questions about primary market research for a drug. I know largely what it is and what it is aiming to achieve, but not sure when companies would do it. Eg does it tend to happen after a certain level of maturity or de risking of a drug, or is it more standard practice for anything in the pipeline. Additionally are market research outcomes considered a source of truth re a drugs commercial viability or is it just one input?
