Are agencies abroad looking for English copywriters? I just got back from a visit to Israel, and got the wild idea that I could actually live there. Partly cause my family’s there. But mostly cause the weather is PERFECT. I heard from people there that there are plenty of jobs for English writers, but I’m curious if that’s actually true. Anyone here ever move to a foreign country to work as a writer? Or anyone currently in Israel working in advertising? Would love to hear your tips! Toda 🙏

Very possible, both remotely and in-person. Just know that in most countries, you'll take a massive paycut.

Yeah I heard that the pay there was worse than here:( which sucks cause it’s already a crazy expensive country 😭

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me.

I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?

We work exclusively together so if I rock the boat its going to get even more uncomfortable. What would you do?
