Anyone here using AI? I’m currently working at a marketing/pr agency where using it seems to be the norm (though no one admits it). When I posted in a digital marketing fishbowl about having used it, folks encouraged me to continue to do so. Some even said that not using it would be a mistake. Thoughts?

Does an independent landlord have to honor a mistake (discounted rent) they made on an online listing in California / SF?

Are there even any FDD type jobs in Pittsburgh? Been hard pressed trying to find.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?

Can we take leaves while serving NP?

Anyone Boston next week?

How do you say “buy this product” in a headline without saying “buy this product”?

Going to Jamaica for a bachelor party Memorial Day Weekend...da hell do I wear?

I have a deadline to respond to a Motion for SMJ in 1 1/2 weeks. I just found out that my grandparents who I haven’t seen since the start of the pandemic will visit this week. I want to spend as much time as possible with them but it will be hard with my response due. I really don’t want to tell the Court that I am seeking an extension for personal reason, what would be a good reason to provide? I clearly don’t want to misstate anything but is there some general, vague language that can be used?

Hi 
Can anyone refer me for a data science analyst role in Amex

Thanks .

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

Looking for a good personal finance or similar book to read. Any suggestions?

Had a 3.2 in undergrad at UC Berkeley. Struggled with mental health 2 of my semesters, which reflects in my transcript pretty evidently. Is it worth writing an optional essay about? Just don’t want to be dinged and not seen as capable for grad level courses bc of that

Hello, after doing some research I believe I’m being underpaid. About 4 months ago HR did a market analysis for my role. They bumped my salary for about $2k. I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

How much does a post house typically charge an advertising client for editing in NYC? Whether that’s hourly, daily, etc.

Tips on Boston fertility clinics? So far looking between Boston IVF and MGH. (Also cross posting to fertility bowl but thought I’d try here for the Boston fish)

Hello. Does anyone know what is the pay for a junior and senior Data Engineer - Web Scraper in @Certik ?

My AD is weak at comping/photoshop and admits it’s not their strong suit. I believe it’s hurting us. Wwyd?

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

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.

Feel really terrible at writing sketch comedy. I think this is just something I just cannot do. Anyone with tips? Advice? Anything?

I need a hilarious name for my new WiFi router and thought a Copywriter’s forum was the perfect place to go. Any suggestions?

Tips for how to start off on a good foot at a new job? Also on how to balance that with taking ownership of the work/asserting yourself, especially when the people there are used to you freelancing (which was less assertive, and similar work but a lower title)… thanks!

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!

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

"I'm not a copywriter so this is gonna be terrible BUT..."

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

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

Do you charge your clients for time spent on email communication?

What about using 3 one-word sentences as a slogan? I feel like it’s super played out, but I get suggestions for it all the time. Can’t we do better than mashing together words from the crestive brief?

Freelancing as a junior with 1 year of experience. Have not got a single book worthy piece. Is going freelance dumb ? Risky? Both? Just trying to gauge whether I should wait for a full time offer.

wisdom on getting promoted to mid-level at the same agency? I’d hate to leave but I’m coming up on 3 years of (real) experience & my agency is known to have CDs come in as seniors so I’m pessimistic

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?

Any copywriters (in branding/otherwise) currently report to a strategist instead of a CD? Trying to have an open mind about them approving copy without judgement but it’s like pulling teeth for me.
