I guess I should have been clearer that I'm starting at a new agency as a Sr. Copywriter...some copywriter I am. 😩

Lol no. People arent going to treat you any differently. I hope for your sake it came with a pay bump. Otherwise you didnt get much out of that deal.

Sorry, I went back to edit, that sounded dickish. It's cool youre excited and nervous. You'll be fine. Good luck. (Everything from before is still true, and I do hope you got a raise.)

Part of it is that I'll be managing/overseeing other writers for the first time. But I also feel that I'm joining to help push more conceptual/big idea level creative, and I want to make sure to strike the right balance there.

I didn’t notice a huge change. Maybe a little more ownership of projects. Do what you were doing, communicate with confidence and be supportive of juniors. For me, having / sharing my opinions (vs. always deferring to CDs) has helped... obviously be diplomatic about it, though. Good luck!

Nice job! You’ll make mistakes, and then you’ll learn from them, and then you’ll be promoted again.

Don’t worry too much, not much changes other than your paycheck (hopefully)

Just keep doing what you were doing, you got promoted because you were already performing at that level and the agency recognized it.

I had a panel interview two weeks ago. I sent the recruiter a status check email last Friday and haven't heard back. I'm really interested in this company and still see the role posted on their site. I'd like to send another email today (to the hiring mgr and recruiter) reiterating my interest along with a list of references. Thoughts on sending the references without them asking? I don't do well with panel interviews and I'm hoping they look past that and check my references.
