Hi friends,

What are the best consulting firms for digital marketing?

Pros / cons working on a launch?

Can anyone tell me about which pharma/health companies OR agencies have great WFH/remote/flex policies? I feel like Glassdoor and Indeed don't highlight that enough when it's one of the things I care about the most.

Fishes! what are the best grounds to dispute my property tax valuation? What support should I have?

Hunter AEs, do you guys get to keep the new logos that you close for a certain period of time to capture upsells? Or are you forced to hand off to a farmer team? If so when does the handoff occur?

Anyone have advice for a first year about to start? Things you wish you did, things you wish you didn’t do?

For the NY CPAs out there- how long did it take to receive your license? I submitted my application in late October (incl. transcript, work experience form, etc.) but haven’t heard anything. Is this normal?

Any gay male 🐠 in here?

I was recently laid off at Snap. Does anybody have new opportunities in tech for a software engineer, 2 yrs of backend experience? Appreciate any referrals!

Do you feel working in customer support has made you a better customer?

Anyone see a big discrepancy between GTMetrix and Page Speed Insights when testing the same site? Annoying to say the least.

I got an offer from Gartner for software engineer (advanced) role and they are offering me really good salary package.
1. How is the quality of work in terms of full stack web development with respect to latest tech and career growth.
2. How is the work life balance for software engineers ?
3. What is the difference between their software engineer and software engineer (advanced) role?

YOE: 3 years

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

Do creative directors have the power to ignore their copywriters and go with their own ideas?

Does anyone else balk a little bit when applying for jobs and the recruiter or job description mentions a lot of blog writing and other content like that?

I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

Trying to break into advertising, specifically copywriting.

Are there any programs, schools, or courses that I can complete online while also working full time? Thanks!

"Use the approved language."

"Why'd you use this language?"

I'm not the best at coming up with lines on the spot. I can write good lines when I'm by myself in front of my laptop, but not when I'm talking with my CD or someone else. Is this considered an issue?

Is it a red flag to interview with a potential new agency that I'd have to move to a different state for and they never give you a chance to ask any questions or fly you out to meet in person?

If you are approached for copy position with a company called LadyBoss... RUN! I don’t know racket they’re running but they set up a video conf with a bunch of copywriters interviewing simultaneously.

Is it better to be at a small shop and crank out work for smaller clients in your first year or be at a big name shop and maybe make nothing? Deciding on an offer...

Are puns always bad? I like them as cheat codes for making boring things slightly more entertaining. I don’t want to spend hours thinking for a line for a social post we are just doing to fill up a content calendar

Shout out to everyone who’s ever had a white paper to “copyedit” that they just ended up rewriting entirely. I’m there today.

I think it’s so crazy that once you sign-full time as a CW, you can’t freelance as well. Feels like there’s so many opportunities out there for freelance roles but the full-time gig steals us from them ☹️

LA! Hiring mid-level CWs and ADs! Must have video prod. exp. and be very conceptual.

Solos and teams apply!

Conceptually, is it typical for copywriters to bring far more ideas to the table than their AD partner?

Would any of you goofballs want to join an informal drinking group for copywriters who write non-advertising stuff like fiction, non-fiction, comedy, plays, poetry or whatever?

Pivoting from copywriting to _____? Interested to hear from copywriters who are either considering or have already transitioned into a totally different or somewhat similar creative role.
