Most people I know who go to 21grams leave before a year. Take that as you will

People are probably going to echo “it depends on the team”. There is so much variation at Area23 (I’m here) and my WLB is excellent.

Totally fair, appreciate it! Yeah, I’ve been at A23 for a while and have mostly been very happy, but I’m on a grievously understaffed team at the moment and no sign of that changing soon. I may just take my chances with 21grams & bear in mind there’s variability everywhere. Thanks!

My team at A23 had constant late nights, my current team at 21G has only had a handful. I also know people who’ve had the complete opposite experience.

Are you copy or art? Also is this a launch or something because I noticed after my lunch things got extremely normal. Oh wait you said no end in sight so maybe this is just how your account is managed permanently?

Would you rather:
Stay with company A which offers great work life balance, $125K salary, but won’t learn as much OR go to company B which offers probably a lot less work life balance (client facing), $150K salary, probably would learn more in this role. Both companies are equal when it comes to prestige. Need to make a decision soon but I’m having a hard time. TIA for your input!

Recently started a book about politics and the author argues that we (the educated, professional class) are to blame for polarization. Since we are well paid and generally unaffected regardless of who is in power, our positions on issues can be uncompromising. Furthermore, we don’t go out and really engage in campaigns. This is because we’d rather argue amongst ourselves from home. This leads to vacuums where bad actors can take up the mantle of leadership. What do you think about that?

I don’t understand the overvalue of “I have oncology experience, or I do have dermatology experience”.

What I do really care is to know, regardless which disease you’ve worked on, if you did something great, disruptive, found a new way of doing something, did a great/smooth launch…

Don’t have experience? If you are good on those other things, I know you can learn context fast.
