I’m a mid-level in-house copywriter in Chicago making $68k, no bonuses, decent benefits. I’ve got 5 years of experience and a great portfolio, but when I ask around, it seems like I’m on the low end. Is this normal for in-house, or should I be pushing harder for agency/freelance rates?

Been thinking about going freelance. What are your best tips for making the jump and finding work? Should I just connect with a recruiter and gobble up contract gigs? Not sure how it all works.

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.

Is it a red flag to interview with a potential new agency that I'd have to move to a different state for and they never give you a chance to ask any questions or fly you out to meet in person?

How do you keep coming up with new headlines for the same product?

Today is supposed to be our “day off.” I always laugh when I see emails announcing special days off. What’s even funnier are the reminders about “half days.” Hilarious.

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

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

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

Trying to break into advertising, specifically copywriting.

Are there any programs, schools, or courses that I can complete online while also working full time? Thanks!
