You can’t be more creative at home?

This my thought every time I see a post about how "my career ended my creativity" or whatever. You want to be an artist go home and become an artist. Advertising is a business. Do work. Make money. Go home and excercise your creative freedom with the unlimited tools and resources you can buy with all that money you make off of advertising.

I am a female developer, I started in QA & learned everything on the job to become a junior dev and then to developer. After 6 years at the same company I think it’s time to move on.

Will companies be willing to train me more due to the current job market & being female?

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
