It’s ridiculously boring work but has great hours and pay

Correct, it has an incredibly low hit rate for good creative work.

I do spend an awful lot of time explaining local stuff (from local landscape to advertisement regulations) but I enjoy it. What’s not to love about the client who pays you well and treats you like a king?

Creative aside- there’s some really well done and interesting healthcare stuff, depending on the agency and brand- you’ll probably have to take a much deeper dive (ie understand and interpret) pathologies of certain diseases. Generally with HCP but this is sometimes the case with DTC as well.

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.

Alright auto fishes, I’m in the market for a entry level luxury car. Open to used or a lease. I don’t plan to use it as a daily driver, live in an HCOL. Only restriction is that I’d like to keep my monthly costs at no more than $600-$700/month (including insurance, financing / fees, etc; have a parking spot already). Doesn’t have to be a European badge. Thoughts?
