Is it impossible to feel safe in this career? All I ever hear from my relatives or my parents' annoying friends is unsolicited advice about how I had my good years in copywriting here but should start looking into something more 'serious' and 'substantial'. Nothing about copywriting is un-serious, so it really annoys me when I hear that. How do the rest of you feel about this whole phase we're in, and how are you planning your future out?

I've never understood this, why do there seem to be more female librarians than male?

Anyone in SF here??

Is it possible to land a financial analyst position with only 6 months of experience in audit? I tried to stick it out w/ B4 but I don’t think I can do it anymore. I’m interested in duties like budgeting/forecasting, but haven’t come across very many entry level positions. I’m mostly seeing entry level jobs that are called “financial analyst” but include duties like JE/reconciliations. I don’t have SQL/Tableau experience either... so not sure if I just need more experience in a diff role first?

How did you find your job? LinkedIn? Employee referral?

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?

I have a job interview next week and all they said was "rate is negotiable," so I worry about going too low or too high.

Any good job boards besides LinkedIn for creative staffing? I’m on working not working but that doesn’t seem super busy.

Wondering if there’s any industry or city specific stuff out there?

I'm new-ish to copywriting after working as news reporter and TV host for years. I'd like to start putting together a portfolio of my writing, but I'm not sure what a marketing copywriting "book" should look like. I have emails, blog articles, promotions etc. Any good examples or resources you could share?

Anyone else in here really struggle with CD’s with art backgrounds who have no clue how to articulate what they want in a line?

How do you stay up to date on creative openings? I try to keep as up to date on new business wins and check on LinkedIn (job posts and searching for posts about openings), the Avail List and connect with as many recruiters as possible. But as most jobs aren’t even posted, how do you stay on top of it? I’m exhausted.

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?

If someone from your network reached out to you to pass on their resume/portfolio for an opening at your company but you know they’re not great to work with, would you still do it?
