Can't believe you stayed over a year. Agencies are like bedsheets, you should switch them out every two weeks.

My track record is usually
Staying a year. One agency I made it to 2.5 years. I want to go client side at some point, so I think I need a little longevity. Now my sister was at the same agency for 8 years

It's normal. Not bad at all. If you stay more than 2 years with no promotion or increasing responsibilities, that's a huge sign to switch.

If you want to make the jump to corporate stay longer. I used my tenure as a selling point when I made the change. In general it’s common though.

This person is right. Though it’s more common the agency side, it’s often a deterrent on the client side.

Hi all, I’m looking to re-enter the workforce. I had to take a career pause @ the beginning of the pandemic because I had a child. I have 5+ years of experience in life science (bench top, pathology in a hospital, startup, and most recently clinical research). I’d like to make a slight pivot into a health informatics, clinical data or data analytics position but I’m also open to non clinical research positions like regulatory/quality assurance etc. Does anyone have any recommendations? TIA

Does anyone ever feel like they have to do ALL the thinking for their team? I know as strategists, we’re the secret sauce to a lot of goings-on with brands.

Advice needed! I interviewed with my favorite company 3 months ago for a role I was interested in but had no experience. They were looking for someone with experience so they passed on me.

I am in the midst of interviewing at 3 different agencies right now. I had my second interview with one agency on Friday and my first round for the other 2 this Wednesday. I would like to interview for the other 2, but am wondering how to maneuver the 1st place, while still being respectful. To be clear, I just want a chance to see what the other 2 say without being pressured to sign an offer letter (should the occasion arise) if they need it before Wednesday. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
