I’ve been hearing a lot about pharma and working for a Pharma client in discussion of salaries here. Do people working for a pharma client make significantly more?

Working in pharma requires skills and knowledge that is unique from other verticals. Just like financial services or some other regulated industries. Having that knowledge commands a higher salary if the agency knows their stuff. If they don’t pay more for it, they probably aren’t valued by their clients or perform services that don’t involve creative or strategy. Also, pharma companies may enter into contracts that include financial incentives based on performance which should trickle down to the team in the form of bonuses.

I don’t think it would be that difficult at that level. You could probably learn quite a bit from articles, that could help you speak intelligently during an interview, indicating your level of interest. Every pharma company has their own regulations and handle things a little bit differently, but the basic premise is the same.

yes. but it can be incredibly conservative, boring or soul-sucking. limited opportunity to get truly creative, unless you're lucky to be working for a (fun) risky group.

but then again, some get to work on a product that is truly meant for the good of all ppl. it exists, but seems super rare.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
