Sorry, but the advice you may have gotten to try this for career stability and a raise is out of date. The big networks are laying people off at a rate more typical of consumer advertising, AI replacement of human creative power is being pushed just as hard, and new FDA leadership has begun a full-scale assault on our clients.

You don’t want to get into healthcare advertising. You want to get out.

Curious, why transition to healthcare from education?

Personally I got experience just working in an agency. Lotta agencies pursue hospitals and pharmaceutical companies because they have huge budgets and big commission payouts. That being said, it's a very "devoid of creativity" space so don't pursue it in the name of job security, because it's no less secure and it's markedly less fun than most PPC clients I've worked on.

Why? It’s the most soul sucking, mindless work. I’m doing it right now. Everyday is mind numbing and pointless

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
