I won awards as a Copywriter and am going to be a CD now. Am I an award winning CD or I guess I’m asking how I should present myself? Award winning creative?

Hey Team

I'm on a H1B so I am supposed to pay Medicare and SS taxes, but my employer has not withheld anything- my hnr block advisor caught that but she just completed my returns assuming I don't have to pay those taxes

What is the right protocol in this case? Do I owe SS and fica taxes?

Hi friends,

I got offer from a product based firm which offered me 24+2(variable) and joining date is on Monday. They have even sent me the laptop and welcome kit. But today I got one more offer from capgemini offering 30lpa. What should I do?

Would you leave a job at a startup who is still running on investment funds after almost 5-6 years of founding even though work environment is great?

CrowdStrike Referral?

Anyone willing to consider. Qualified for the job, tech sales top performer, looking to get into cybersecurity. 🙏

Anybody Who joined for Mulesoft tech recently in LTI??

Hsbc or Wells Fargo which one to go ? Both are paying same .

I’m currently in internal audit and hate it. I got a job offer to joint another practice within my firm and the work itself sounds very appealing. The only major drawback is 80-100% travel. Thoughts?

Given the continuing chip shortage situation- what changes are you making to your embedded code bases to handle hardware changes?

What does it mean when the recruiter talks more?

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

Who’s working in house in LA? Where? Doing what?

I'm not the best at coming up with lines on the spot. I can write good lines when I'm by myself in front of my laptop, but not when I'm talking with my CD or someone else. Is this considered an issue?

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

I’m helping my friend put together a brand book for his startup. I’ve seen this go so many diff ways, but besides the design-related stuff, what exactly is important to include? Do I include a brand mission statement? Brand manifesto? Brand positioning? Brand tagline? Would love your thoughts.

I think it’s so crazy that once you sign-full time as a CW, you can’t freelance as well. Feels like there’s so many opportunities out there for freelance roles but the full-time gig steals us from them ☹️

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?

Freelancing as a junior with 1 year of experience. Have not got a single book worthy piece. Is going freelance dumb ? Risky? Both? Just trying to gauge whether I should wait for a full time offer.

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

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.

Shout out to everyone who’s ever had a white paper to “copyedit” that they just ended up rewriting entirely. I’m there today.

Would a full time copywriter salary be higher for client side vs. agency side? Debating with a couple friends on it. Some say same. Some say lower at each. NYC. I know there are variables but...

If that’s your Art Director, then why is he in my google doc?

Has anyone worked for McCann on the Phexxi/Annie Murphy commercial?

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?

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