Is it bad that I wish to leave the current role
for context I've held a manager's position for 5+ Years, climbing from the bottom towards the full-time assistant position that I hold now, due to a internal promotion that has come up a position I want has come up, I've been very vocal about my want and desire to grow within the company. Issue I'm facing now is that I must complete multiple stages of interview, along with having to "compete" against two other candidates? is this normal?

Yes, they want to ensure they pick the right candidate for the trajectory of the company. Many companies focus on hiring from within, but ultimately the position will given to the person who fits the position better. Good Luck!

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?
