I’ve been a little jaded in my career. What’s the translation for “this brand will be your baby to own” after being shifted onto a new brand w/o a promo.

Excellent opportunity to show leadership what you’re made of, and to get portfolio work. Put your best foot forward. They’re trusting you with this for a reason. Have fun with it.

That’s kind of what it feels like. Absolve themselves of responsibility in case things go sideways. New manager is spread across 4 brands but still below ACD

This is a classic orange flag.

They gave you your 'own brand,' yet with neither the title recognition nor compensation in return. If they did this because they were impressed they definitely would have. They're just dumping workflow on you they don't have the money to hire someone else for. It's abusive—but not personal. Watch out for yourself and monitor your exploitation conscientiously

Proceed with caution and a solid 6-month exit plan. It won't take longer to "prove" what they clearly already know you can do. Stay longer w/no promo and they—and your colleagues—will inherently respect you less, and growth opportunities will naturally stall indefinitely.

I love the positive outlook in these responses. Try leaning into that, but be very wary of overworking yourself.

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

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.

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
