Is working on a dedicated healthcare/health insurance team considered “pharma”, or more “pharma-adjacent”?

If you have to ask if it’s pharma it probably isn’t. When you work on pharma... oh... you will know.

I would say that it’s “healthcare” and not “pharma”. Pharma would mean that you’re working on a pharmaceutical drug that includes ISI.

Pharma is its own beast due to intricate legalities around messaging. If it’s not pharma, it’s not pharma.

It’s considered healthcare.

Thanks, all! You’ve confirmed my assumptions. Looking at a new healthcare gig and just wanted to check :)

From someone in Pharma, that’s definitely pharma, more specifically payer marketing

A dedicated wing of a traditional agency. Blurry lines. Also not sure the distinction really matters 🤷🏻‍♀️, mostly just curious.

Luggage delay claim question

I used Chase explorer to buy tickets for my vacation and luggages were delayed for a month. Per chase term I am entitled $100 a day for 3 days. But the claim agency chase used has been asking for airlines response, which has not came (2month+ now). I am concerned insurance will use this as an excuse to never compensate. Is there a good way to handle this situation?
TIA

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
