So far I have been working in roles where I work on lots of different types of brands and I'm worried about being typecast if I work at a healthcare ad agency for a few years.
Will I have a hard time moving out of it if I wanted to?

As a strategist, I don’t see it being as much of a problem as creative.

I personally don't think so, especially since you've already worked on lots of different types of brands. That experience won't disappear if you go to healthcare for a while.

I’m not a strategist but from what I understand, once you have health care experience under your belt, you’ll be more desirable because it’s pretty niche and not everyone knows how regulatory bodies work. Paired with your previous experience on other brands, I think you’ll be ok!

(Or maybe that’s what someone just told me to make me feel better about working at a health care agency. 😂 )

No really, I think you’re good.

Thank you so much this definitely makes me feel better. I'm inclined to try it out but the lack of creativity is daunting for sure!

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
