If you start in healthcare you’ll have a very hard time getting out.

Have to agree with ACD here. It’s a completely different skill set. I started in consumer and dipped into the HC pond 7 years in. The only reason I swam back out is because I had a foundation of consumer work to draw from. From a hiring perspective, a book of nothing but health doesn’t translate well. The creative constraints and style are different. It’s a hard truth. It’s not that healthcare people aren’t creative.

I would never start in healthcare unless you’re genuinely interested in the market. If it’s incredibly hard to get into an agency, I rather look at digital agency with some UX/UI projects. If that’s still too hard to get in, I’d start in a really small agency without big name brands. If that’s still too hard, I’ll look to in-house agency as a designer. If that’s still too hard, okay... I start in healthcare until the job market turns around... If you’re already in the last phase, I’m sorry I don’t have word for you... :(

Is anyone on a low dose of Adderall or a similar stimulant, and do you find it helpful/effective?

When I was diagnosed (at 20 yo) I started on Adderall XR and my psychiatrist essentially took a “keep upping the dose until you feel side effects” approach, even though I still saw some benefits at a lower dose. I’m currently unmedicated and am somewhat hesitant to restart, but feel I could see some benefit and better stability with the help of medication.

HELP! B2G and now adding B2B accounts!

I've worked for my company since August and I've mainly been prospecting in behavioral health centers.

However, the other two AEs want me to support them (only BDR) and they handle corporate employee accounts/non-healthcare.

Anyone have any tips for the B2B space and who I should prospect? They didn't give many pointers lol.

Job offer extended but now some red flags… I was extended an offer today with a pay raise and great benefits. It’s in a field that interests me more but, now some red flags have come up. They voided my offer after asking for time off way in advance in December of this year & the pay that was discussed on the phone is different from my offer letter. I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.
