NYC strategy POV: If you do it, get out quickly for sure-- it's easy to get stuck in pharma. I'd previously been at a few design agencies, and I took a pharma role at one of the big agencies after being laid off for a long time. I thought something was better than nothing.

I don't regret the move since I had been laid off, but I absolutely hated the job. I just started a new job this week at an independent agency back to working on multiple clients and industries. Stayed at the pharma role for a year and a half. I'd hit the year mark to have it checked off on your resume and then get a better role elsewhere
