Are you happy with where you are in your career? What do you think will be your next move? Ngl, these are questions I've been asking myself and not having the answer is a little terrifying.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Are ppl worried about being on the bench esp when there aren’t a lot of projects in the pipeline? New hire here about to be up for staffing for the first time and sentiment at my firm seems to be worried/fearful about being unstaffed.

How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

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 ☹️
