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?

Depends on the agency?

Starting as a straight copywriter can definitely make your career path easier later on (even if it’s just a shop that doesn’t have junior titles) but the opportunities at each job could easily outweigh the title.

This is helpful. Thanks.

All other factors being equal, it doesn’t matter at all.

You don’t have to put that “jr” on your linked in or your site. So the only people who will know the difference are the folks at your agency.

If the pay is roughly the same, go with the best opportunity.

the agency i’m at now doesn’t differentiate “junior” vs “copywriter” but i’m definitely a junior and not a mid level. it’s really just an “organization chart.” don’t let that be a factor in deciding!! go with the best fit, team, and potential

Right on, cool. Thanks.

Anyone who puts that apostrophe there is definitely a Jr.

How much experience do you have?

I’ve freelanced for just over a year now. Was a commercial director/ production three years prior. I’m fine with a Jr. title but ended up snagging interviews for positions that weren’t.
