I ended up taking pharma gigs a few years ago when the freelance market really started to dry up. It’s been good money overall, but honestly, it can feel pretty soul-sucking at times.
I don’t mind the conceptual work as much—it can even be a little interesting—but once it turns into endless website builds and IVA work, it gets rough fast.
Curious how others feel who’ve made the shift from traditional agency work on more exciting brands to pharma. Has it been the same experience for you?
