What should i go for TCS 9.5Lpa or Rategain 11.5 lpa

I went birdie/par on holes 1 & 2 today. Instantly became delusional that I’m going to shoot under par for the round. Followed it up with two doubles and shot a 98. Humbling game. 😂

Can we please, please, please stop using "DPI" and "PPI" when talking about specs in purely digital creative environments? Some of y'all have never done print design in your lives. Say what you mean. Use pixels.

If I'm totally off base, can someone explain to me the value in keeping this old language around?

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏

"She's like 30, but doesn't look super old"

Any advise for wrist pinch pain? (Not looking for the surgery route). I also have an ergonomic keyboard.

Got laid off in tech corp dev making 250-300 all in. Have an offer to join a fairly new family office investment team in PE buyouts but will be a fairly significant cash pay cut vs what I was making in tech corp dev. I’ve always been interested in doing investing. All things being equal, is there better upside to take the fam office to do PE (at a pay cut for now), or go do another corp dev job? 6-7 YOE

Felt that I had a great conversation but didn’t get the final round. Recruiter said that it was a tough decision and it might be that I should shoot for a higher level than the one I applied. Has this happened to you before?

I’m trying to get an estimated ideal of what my costs would be when moving to Chicago. How much do you spend a month on “going out” (before pandemic)? Specifically referring to going to restaurants, getting drinks, take out, and coffee. Not including transportation.

Up for promotion this year to manager, it seems that EY and Deloitte already announced no bonus? Guess promotion freeze will be next?

Should I opt for online 2 yrs MBA from DY patil university? It is good or should I look for alternative. I am getting alot of calls from them. Please suggest. I have around 3 yrs experience in IT.

If you were to vote today, who would you vote for in 2020? I know it’s far away and all that. I just want to get an impression of people here’s feelings

Any advice for a CD team who wants to move to pharma? We’ve freelanced in the space, but don’t have work in our books. Currently we’re running a large CPG brand, FT at a network agency in NYC.

Thoughts on Klick??? Very intrigued

Has anyone quit their job because of a relationship? I started my job 3 months ago and now my employer wants me to move to NY. The thing is, I fell in love during the pandemic with a friend that I have known for 3 years. It's frustrating since I know I could continue my job from home. I would honestly quit my job and wouldn't mind the job search again.

Anybody know of any art director positions open?

New planner here looking for advice. If you had to write a creative brief for an HCP strategy in a week with no insight research currently available, how would you go about it?

Sooo who’s working on Pfizer’s covid vaccine?

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.

Thoughts on TBWA\WorldHealth?

A recruiter there reached out to me about a Copy Sup job. What should I be looking out for?

Can anyone tell me about which pharma/health companies OR agencies have great WFH/remote/flex policies? I feel like Glassdoor and Indeed don't highlight that enough when it's one of the things I care about the most.

Thoughts on Centron?

Is $100K CAD a reasonable salary for a Senior Art Director in Pharma?

Who has the Descovy business?

Any thoughts on McCann Health NY, and Red flags? Do they have a good structured/balanced workflow and team per department for things to be balanced out for each member, and good work-life balance? Anything to consider when applying there?

Apparently some journals can prevent sci-hub from sharing their content now.

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

Favorite recent/current pharma campaigns? Either DTC or HCP. Looking for some inspiration!

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!

I’m a 62-year-old CD. Am I the oldest living creative in the business? Just curious how many 50- or 60-plus fishies are out there

Who has the Novartis US Eyecare biz?

New to the industry and wondering what a typical Pharma Copywriter does in their role. A bit concerned about the lack of actual copywriting I'm doing so far.
