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.

Hi. I’m in need of advice and encouragement. I’m currently working as a public defender(2nd year) but I would love to pursue a solo private practice. I would like to leave the public defender because I am ready to make more money and I am no longer feeling the fulfillment I once felt. I have a family and work-life balance is a priority. What is a good way to gain experience in other areas of law as a solo practitioner? What areas of law are best for maintaining a work-life balance?
