Torn on whether to accept a Sr Designer offer at a healthcare/pharma agency or hold out to see if other interviews come through with offers. It's a fair offer at 100k for an actually decent seeming healthcare client, but I don't want to get stuck in pharma.

If you don’t want to get stuck in pharma then don’t take the first step toward getting stuck in pharma.

(Taking a job in pharma is the first step. Just in case that isn’t clear) 😂

Just keep freelancing in pharma (or not) you’ll make way more than 100k

I don't wanna get stuck in pharma either so despite multiple attempts of my friend to recruit me in, I've stubbornly stayed away. It does pay well. But I'd rather do work I think is interesting.

Resounding advice, thanks y'all. Declined the offer!

Why don't you want to get stuck in pharma? Making six figures would be pretty sweet right, lots you could do with your time on that

I work in it and it sucks. Takes forever to produce anything and even when you do, it’s rarely ever interesting work.

I informally accepted a position at Silicon Valley Bank, after attempting to negotiate a higher wage, the recruiter advised this wasn't a possibility. However, while completing the background check I received another offer from Wells Fargo. The SVB position most aligns with my career objectives but the Wells Fargo position pays more (13k difference). I want the SVB position however I would like to leverage the Wells Fargo position to negotiate a higher salary. Any suggestions on strategy?

Hi fishes, what are the chances of Pwc AC rescinding an offer, given the market condition. The offer letter I have received seems to be generic and doesn't look it is for a specific project.
