Recently started at a new agency with a step up in position and nice salary jump. That said, I find the client / vertical incredibly boring. My agency only does healthcare so switching account likely wouldn’t help. How long would you stay for the sake of not looking bad?

This is health care/pharma. Boring from a content and media perspective. repetitive. good pay. usually good WL balance. hard to move to anything different.

Wow the lack of possibility to move to anything different is depressing

Stay and learn the commercial side of how the account makes money, get exposure to procurement work. That’s how you learn.

I learnt the most on big pharma and now work on media / ents / tech.

Don’t discount the boring brands

Give it a year. Like most things, the more you learn about it, the more interesting it becomes.

Six months, minimum — but ideally, stay for a year.

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?
