Looking for advice,

Trying to get back into general advertising from pharma. Most of my career was in general advertising. I only took a job in pharma as it was the lowest hanging fruit after a company wide layoff in my last gen advertising role. I keep trying to connect with old colleagues/managers in my previous roles and message them on LinkedIn to connect and keep applying to non pharma roles but I feel like it’s getting me no where.

How’s your book? Are you getting any feedback on it? Do you have a rep? Maybe you need to do some pro bono stuff to right the ship?

My book is pretty much all general advertising and social first/media heavy work.

Hello! Looking for some guidance. I will soon be leaving Verizon after 15 years with them (6 years HR experience, 3 years Operations, 6 years leadership). The last HR position I held will be eliminated and I was offered a severance. I am now in the market for a new place of employment I can call home. I was thinking of trying for a start up. But the likes of Google, Adobe, etc. also seem appealing. Would you recommend a start up as my next endeavor? I enjoy helping build processes and policies.

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
