I'm considering pivoting to copywriting because that's the part of my role I'm best at -- a lot of the account management stuff is draining, but I can whip out social and marketing copy quickly & I enjoy it. Wondering if anyone has insight / leads on making the jump from accounts to the copy side when applying for jobs? 5 YOE, 3 in-agency with a mix of automotive and pharma + a side gig as a published author with muliple books (hoping that'll help on the creative / copy end?) Thank you!

I was planning to mail each of my 20 employees a Christmas card with a $10 gift card inside. Now don’t get me wrong I desperately wish I could do more for them, but this is coming from my own bank account as my company wouldn’t allow for this type of expenditure this year. I mentioned this to a friend and they said they would be offended to receive such a small dollar value and now I am rethinking the gesture. Will my team think this was in poor taste and cringy? 😭

Now is a great time to start your own tax firm even if it’s just friends and family.
1. Obtain PTIN if you don’t already
2. Register your firm with your State
3. Obtain your EFIN
4. Obtain an EIN
5. Get Drake Tax or whatever tax software you want
6. Get QuickBooks Online Accountant

I wouldn’t charge anything less than $500. I would only charge less if it helps you gain confidence or you just want to. Yes, I’m sure it’s against company policy but it’s your friends and family.

Anyone have a sense of why Deloitte got hit so hard by layoffs? I’ve heard four potential reasons:

4. Partners didn’t want to take a haircut

Just curious! From an external perspective, seems like they cut way more than the other firms.
