New fish looking for career guidance.

I'm a corporate recruiter with 3 years of experience. Finishing my degree in HRM 5/2022. I'm thinking of getting my SHRM -CP shortly after graduation.

#MAIPSummit2020 :

In my experience, it's been considered taboo (especially by employers) for employees to discuss salary with peers. Does this practice help encourage pay inequality? Thoughts?

What are salary rates for an Art Director in NYC these days? $90k $80k?

How much should I ask for for an Art Sup role?

Thoughts on Centron?

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?

Has anybody moved into Pharmaceutical Marketing from Consumer Marketing? Thinking about it as a potential career decision. Understand the biggest challenge in my market is the inability to market to consumers.

Creatives and Account, what in your opinion makes a client good?

How do we get them to shorten the consumer ISI? It serves no ethical purpose and physicians hate it. Here’s my version:

Hey there, new and curious fish. Are you considering a position in pharma? Worried about how creative you can be? Thinking if the salary is worth it? Ask your questions about entering the world of healthcare advertising here and we’ll answer.

Anyone else get annoyed with the constant grumbling about healthcare/pharma work in the main bowl?

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.

How long are you typically on the phone each day? My phone time has steadily increased throughout the pandemic to around 6 hours per day

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.

Best west coast pharma agencies?

Considering leaving my agency after just a couple months in pharma - feeling underutilized and stuck.

My question: do I leave this stint off my resume entirely? List the parent agency instead of the wellness arm? Pass it off as freelance? Not trying to be dishonest I just know this experience probably isn’t relevant when going out for non-pharma jobs.

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!

Layoffs at CDM ... again

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?
