Hello hive mind. I am currently interviewing with three agencies. Pretty far along with two of them. One of the positions is a Jr. copywriter position while the other two are just for a copywriter. How important would it be to not have the “Jr” before the title? Personally, I don’t care about the title, but wonder about future employer’s?

Thinking of buying the Caraway cookware set. Has anyone tried it? I'm not much of a cook so it seems like a great set for me (also I'm a total sucker for the design and color options). Blogs I've read have all provided positive reviews but would love to get some personal input!

I currently make 78k at Lockheed but I’m not doing what I’d like to be doing and i felt stuck and after many conversations with my manager and no solution in sight, I started applying elsewhere. I just recently got an offer from a smaller AI company for 95k that I plan to accept. I’m happy to make the jump, I just don’t know how my manager/coworkers will react when I tell them I’m leaving.

There have been surprising news with layoffs lately. Has anyone here been affected by the layoffs at Twitter or META?

Hey beautiful people,
I’m 27Y and work in tech. Unfortunately my carpal tunnel is getting worst slowly. I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

Halfway through a year long sabbatical and reevaluating what I want to do (left before jumping to Senior associate).

Is $22.10/hr for Technical Support Specialist decent? Been with the company going on two years and have supported that particular department quite a few times. Currently sitting as an IT Tech and support general help desk and between tier 1 and 2 tickets. This will also be my highest paying job yet lol. Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I’m an early startup having raised a bit of money from family and friends to help grow my business. Time is moving fast and I’m potties I won’t hit my targets and being the return back to those who invested.
Once I have used the money that’s been invested there’s no way of seeing it again and still bringing the return quick enough.

The numbers still show it’s possible, I still believe in the concept and I’m still growing, I think I just have some imposter syndrome.

Any advice?

Any HR contact for FCB Chicago? Saw an Associate Producer position that I’m interested in applying to. Thanks in advance

Have you had to take a copy test or been given an unpaid assignment as part of a job interview? If so, was it for a freelance gig or full-time job? Was it for an agency or in-house?

Tips for how to start off on a good foot at a new job? Also on how to balance that with taking ownership of the work/asserting yourself, especially when the people there are used to you freelancing (which was less assertive, and similar work but a lower title)… thanks!

Any copywriters (in branding/otherwise) currently report to a strategist instead of a CD? Trying to have an open mind about them approving copy without judgement but it’s like pulling teeth for me.

Copywriters where did you meet your favorite creative partner? I’ve been at this for a long time and still don’t have a go-to I love. Hard to find chemistry and work ethic/talent in the same person.

It’s feeling impossible to find a long lasting mentor-mentee relationship, especially when agencies are understaffed, timelines are ridiculously short and the best in the biz jump ship every two-ish years…

Does anyone have tips on how to become a better writer when you don’t have consistent senior writers around to share your with with?

What should I charge as an hourly rate as a freelancer in Minneapolis (I'm assuming the location matters a lot) with 1.5 years experience and a BA in Journalism? *cue Avenue Q song*

Is $75-$100 reasonable?

I have a job interview next week and all they said was "rate is negotiable," so I worry about going too low or too high.

Does anyone else balk a little bit when applying for jobs and the recruiter or job description mentions a lot of blog writing and other content like that?

LA! Hiring mid-level CWs and ADs! Must have video prod. exp. and be very conceptual.

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

How do you deal with ambiguous feedback?

I’m good at conceptualising — but how can I become a better writer?

Trying to break into advertising, specifically copywriting.

Are there any programs, schools, or courses that I can complete online while also working full time? Thanks!

wisdom on getting promoted to mid-level at the same agency? I’d hate to leave but I’m coming up on 3 years of (real) experience & my agency is known to have CDs come in as seniors so I’m pessimistic

Anybody made the move to freelancing? Infinitely happier? Enough money after taxes? Asking for a friend.

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

Had anyone had success using the c0ff3e thing on LinkedIn? Like landed interviews/gigs?

Are puns always bad? I like them as cheat codes for making boring things slightly more entertaining. I don’t want to spend hours thinking for a line for a social post we are just doing to fill up a content calendar

I once had a creative director tell me to add a blog of my own to my portfolio to make it more personal. Thoughts? If you’ve done this, how did you approach it?

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?
