I’ve realized healthcare work just isn’t where my heart is. It’s been a good experience in terms of leadership and problem-solving, but the regulations make it hard to create the kind of bold, distinctive ideas I’m passionate about. I’m looking to get back into consumer and general market work where I can really push the creative. If you’re looking for an Art ACD ready to step into a CD role, let’s connect.

Would you be willing to take a demotion. The switch isn’t a 1:1

I could make a lateral move. With 15+ years of experience, having worked on consumer accounts and in different markets, and now based in NYC, I wouldn’t consider anything below an ACD role.

Are you also ready to take a pay cut?

I’ve had the same salary as an ACD on both sides for almost five years. Pharma doesn’t pay as well as people think.

It’s hard to get back into GM advertising once you’ve been in healthcare for such a long time, especially at a higher pay level. Not impossible, but will probably be challenging considering how many talented people are looking for work right now.

Good luck to you.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
