>bust ass to get projects in a good place before PTO >return from PTO and panic because projects are in next phase with no current copy needs and calendar is empty

My fiancé and I are starting to plan our wedding and honeymoon. I have already locked down meetings for the next few months with all our primary vendors. I’m rewarding my hard work by looking at the honeymoon plans! We are wanting to go to Iceland in June! Has anyone been for a full island road trip style vacation? Looking at 8-12 days in Iceland depending on what we decide to fill our time with. Any suggestions and reviews are greatly appreciated!!

Is unlimited PTO that bad? I talked to some friends in EY and all of them said it's not a huge issue. Can't you use it for two months and travel abroad in non-busy season?

I received a verbal offer for a VP position at CCB line of business at JPMC in NYC two weeks ago. The recruiter asked for salary expectations but there was no number set. It’s been two weeks since and complete radio silence. I sent an email to a hiring manager a week ago but received no reply. It’s August so people could be on vacation but this is really strange. Has anyone had similar experience?

Hi all,

#kpmg#India

In the portal, I can see that I am tagged to a project and the Start Date is 10/Jan/23.

But the status is "Proposed" not "Staffed"
What does that signify?

Moreover, the Project Code starts with "temp"
For eg
Temp-ProjectCode

This is weird as well.

Can anyone suggest what does this means?
Whom should I reach out to, for more info?

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks!

What is the best Wordpress theme for Copywriters?

I’ve been at my agency for almost 3 years now and recently got promoted from junior level to mid-level. I discovered copywring my senior year of college and got hired right after I graduated. I’ve learned a lot from my job and think I’ve improved as a copywriter, but I often feel like I’m struggling to keep my head above water. I want to keep improving my skills and work on some more exciting projects. I’m considering doing an online portfolio school like Adhouse, but wondering (cont.)

Let's do a salary thread for Copywriters:

Post your - Salary - City - Years of experience - If You've Won Awards.

Fishbowl will circulate the data once we've reached 200 responses, so make sure to share with your coworkers.

How much background research do you think copywriters should be expected to do for a project? Say, for example, you are assigned to create a brochure to help people decide how to invest their money...

Advertising copywriters, how do you work with an editor? I’ve got one on a website project I’m working on now but have never worked with one before. They’re recommending changes I think are completely stupid. Is this common? When an editor suggests edits, is it normal to have to rewrite whole sections?

Is there a good editing service out there or a peer review place? I’ve got some long-form copy stuff that I am working on for my book. Normally, I’d ask someone in my agency to look it over.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

I have no desire to advance to Creative Director and it makes me feel bad about myself. It comes across as if I don’t have ambition or drive to advance my career.
