Pfizer team at Carat - thoughts? This is the third time within a few months I’m being approached to talk about a role on this account at Carat. A friend on the account says that while it’s a stable account, it’s not uncommon for junior-level staff (which I would still fall into) to work sweatshop hours. Should I even bother consider?

I haven’t known anyone who works there for years now, but I will say that after pitching Pfizer a few times, I wouldn’t want them as a client. The people I interacted with were just… not nice. Not people you want to go the extra mile for. I’m also guessing that the reason you keep being approached is because others are leaving the account pretty consistently. Regardless of the work or the client, that kind of turnover puts extra stress on any team.

I would disagree about the clients. The people on the account for the last few years across all brands and disciplines are not only very nice people but knowledgeable and great partners in collaboration. They've also been with Carat as their AOR for ~20 years so I would agree about the stability.

DM me. I've been working on the account for 3 years for the Social team but work directly with the Carat planning folks. Happy to answer any questions.

I am about to hand in my notice at a job I am pretty secure in, to go to a job for a relatively new company (with a significant salary increase). Any tips for:

1. Getting over the nerves that are as a result of taking a risk (I am late 30's)
2. The guilt of leaving a role where I have an amazing working relationship with all my colleagues and my boss

Any tips would be appreciated as I am a mess of nerves!!
