I feel like it's not as straightforward as, 'find the people who do the work you look up to, and reach out to them'. How?? I'm constantly out here doing that on LinkedIn and by cold emailing, but I never hear back. Does everyone have a LinkedIn premium or something? Because I don't, and I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that, but I don't get to open conversations this way. What else can I do? What am I doing wrong?

Hi fishes. I am having 4 years of experience in Rpa UiPath. Coforge is paying me 21 lpa and 1.05 lpa variable and Ey GDS is paying 17 lpa fixed. Which one is better?

I recently joined FIL as Lead BA. Is there any chance of on-site travel? Is there any team where on-site movement is easy?

Currently interviewing at CBRE for an analyst position… looking on Glassdoor it seems like the salaries are quite low. Anyone in the Vancouver office could confirm or deny? I am currently making 65k and would be looking for an offer around 75k.

Does EY follow bands for different ranks? I have seen so different salary for same ranks and people at higher rank are earning less than people at low rank.

Suggestions on Product based Companies for "Business Analyst/Product Owner/Project Manager" Roles under US Healthcare domain would be of great help 😊

What does Shadow Hardlock mean?

Does anyone else on the client services side often wonder how they ended up at an ad agency?

These paychecks aren't cutting it. Side hustle ideas?

My 70+ year old dad just got on Facebook and kind of rocking it! He is just on there spreading the positivity. Ha ha

And he only had to create 4 accounts to do it.

What do we all make of "The Lists"?

Has anyone gotten matched to Delta diamond from EP or 1K? In our status match program it shows platinum as the highest tier for matching. Any tricks?

JAL or Cathay for premium economy US to Asia (Both 777s)

Would love to hear thoughts on this one. Asking your firm to make sure the hotels at retreats stock quality 0.0 beer or other sober-curious-friendly options. Super progressive or super needy?

What's with companies charging full fees for diminished benefits? I'm a bit annoyed about being charged in full for my Marriott card annual fee and Amazon Prime mebership

Anyone know what the comp looks like for corp strat associates? M’s? Directors?

What would be the expected salary in India for PhD in materials engineering with 4 years of experience?

Has anyone in big 4 asked for a transfer to a different country? (I.e Canada). Currently debating whether I should transfer with the firm or apply for express entry myself.

Any recommendations for a course / resources on children's book writing / illustration?

Does your art partner contribute to visual descriptions when you’re working on scripts?

Have too much on your desk? Maybe one of those briefs is a bit boring?
Send it my way, I'm here to flex my copy muscles for you.

All I ask is you give me feedback when I send it back.

I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

How do you say “buy this product” in a headline without saying “buy this product”?

Sincerely,
A Junior Copywriter with a shitty brief and an even shittier turnover time 😭😭🥹

Sick of writing emails client-side all day and can’t seem to get into an agency. What’s another career path for a copywriter? Getting too old to try and become a teacher or anything.

What about using 3 one-word sentences as a slogan? I feel like it’s super played out, but I get suggestions for it all the time. Can’t we do better than mashing together words from the crestive brief?

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

Conceptually, is it typical for copywriters to bring far more ideas to the table than their AD partner?

How old were you when you started as a junior copywriter?

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it. If I genuinely seethed with envy over their wit w/that perfectly placed semi-colon. People can’t re-art direct stuff bc they don’t know the programs so they ask the ADs for changes. Word and a keyboard made everyone think they can write. Which they can’t. Google Slides is Google slip ‘n slide into (bad ref. here.)

Hi. I’m looking for a CA, OR, or WA-based writer who’d write blog posts for a product / lifestyle site about weed and west coast weed culture. Needs to be otherwise professional & willing to use name

Would any of you goofballs want to join an informal drinking group for copywriters who write non-advertising stuff like fiction, non-fiction, comedy, plays, poetry or whatever?

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?

Do creative directors have the power to ignore their copywriters and go with their own ideas?

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.
