Do you like writing website and user interface copy?

Its great for smart, thoughtful writers who know sometimes simplicity is best. Less fun for jokey ad writers who want to be the center of creative attention.

@CW1, no :) there are some people who do “systems” work (which, to clarify, is not only UX/UI writing), “stories” work (traditional campaign), and some who flip between both (it’s less common, but if you can, why not?).

I actually started on the traditional side too but liked systems at RGA, and now do both.

In the last year / year and a half, I worked on live music, a bunch of content (but not TVC), activations, maker programs, IRL experiences, etc. It’s a completely mixed bag — all of which required a fundamental understanding of experience design that had nothing to do with “web/UX/UI writing.”

I’d recommend clarifying what group and client(s) you’ll be working on, and the fact that you don’t particularly enjoy (or aren’t great at) long-form copy. I think that’ll narrow expectations pretty quickly and hopefully help you figure out if this is the right move, right now.

Oftentimes, we hire for a particular need. So even if this one isn’t a good fit, a better role could always open later. (Again, personal experience — I turned down the first opportunity but contin’d the conversation a year later when a more fitting one popped up, and here we are.)

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics

Has anyone ever worked at an agency in which the project management department was properly utilized? I traditionally was brought up in my career where PM type tasks were handled by lower level AMs. I have observed separating AM and PM tasks into two separate departments just causes communication issues and lazy account people. Account people should have a good understanding of how much effort and time goes into a project. Project Managers are missing a lot of context so blind leading blind.

What do you call different types of systems? I understand “design system” refers to visual design/UI system...but I’ve seen “visual system” and “brand system”. I can extrapolate but curious how others use these in real world application. Thanks!

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
