Has anyone switched from copywriting to strategy or vice versa? Did you find it challenging to switch mindsets or do you think it gave you an advantage?

I switched from copy It’s s much better fit for me. And understanding both mindsets is an advantage.

I switched from copy to strategy, and then to account. The shift in mindset is something that you have to put effort into, but being able to understand how other domains really function is always always always a benefit.

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.

I’m working on a short-term contract (I have less than 2 months left) & someone on the team I joined just quit. My boss is expecting me to ‘step up’ and cover her work. I don’t want to extend the contract long term (so don’t want to be a team player) & want to tell them no - they’re paying me for the old role, not the original role + the role I now need to cover.
