I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.

What’s your agency’s WFH policy? Is it ok to declare you’re working from home every once and a while? Sometimes I need to and I do better work when I’m away

Been at a new job for a couple of months. Overall it’s been disappointing and I’m starting to feel anxiety for the future. I feel this way because I’ve just been working on one account I really don’t feel will create anything book worthy and I’m afraid that I will have nothing to show after a year. I’d been interviewing with this company for a while (off and on for 7 months+) and during that time made work I’m proud of and as of this past may, is award winning. (continued in comments)

So WFH is a thing now. I spent the last 4 years building my copywriter career in nyc, got some cool shit in my portfolio. But let’s say I wanna move back home, can I still get freelance/full time gigs from nyc while I live back home?
