Fair enough! Well, this has been incredibly helpful. Appreciate your insight, CW1!

Only if you get to drive a golf cart, run with a dog and laugh gleefully with strangers like the people in the ads you’re about to make.

Haha. In my case, dancing bent carrots…

But this is for a promotion (so I’m aware of the “intricacies” of the industry).

If you’re being promoted to Sr AD after just starting out as an entry level AD in pharma (generally after 1, maybe 2 years experience) then that is probably just a bit low for jumping to another shop for the promotion. But it’s not crazy low and i wouldn’t expect to get 135k if you are at about that level of experience

healthcare, leave, severance etc all play a role in differential. I think 110-115k min is safe to ask for

Please suggest , what is the possibility of the offer getting revise

Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
