I’ve been getting some scammy “buy my copywriting course” messages lately. But it’s the the three recommended replies in this one that have me cracking up 🤣

What courses would you recommend for career advancement? I've taken improv and editing courses. I took a mindfulness at work course and really liked it. Looking for more ideas beyond public speaking and writing.

Has anyone ever left their jobs (without one lined up) to be with their spouse (currently in a serious long distance relationship)? How did it turn out for you?

Any insight on Shopify? A quick Google search tells me some things. Looking for inside POV.

Its been a month i have been in wipro and allocated to an indian client in APMEA. In future will there be any chance to move to america or america2 in wipro as i have onsite aspirations

Thoughts on GA Tech or Emory MBA? I am in Atlanta and would like to stay here for my MBA, but do not want to waste time/money if it’s brand is not valued by top firms.

Open to any UXResearcher roles. Preferably remote/ hybrid. Recently laid-off due to corporate restructure.

I signed my offer letter today. When should I put a termination notice? After background check?

When does PwC second year risk assurance training usually take place for Bay Area?

Has anyone taken the CFE exam? What study materials did you used and how much time do you think it's needed?

Need advice: 58 years, $3M saving mainly in 401K, $1M mortgage debt and HCOL. Retire now or should I wait for 2 more years?

Can anybody tell me that how _vois do background verification after submitting of all details on idfy portal.

Candid thoughts on Real Chemistry? Thinking about moving from my smaller agency but have read some SUPER bad Glassdoor reviews and know there has been an attrition problem there. Please be as honest as possible! Thanks!

Guys stop trying so hard to time this. Unless you are an insider, buying and holding is the way to go here, but everyone wants instant gratification to their own detriment. Sheesh!

If your I140 gets approved when you’re out of the US, and it’s been 6 months since but you’re still outside, you still retain the PD and the employer cannot withdraw it right?

Have you ever been or currently in a relationship with someone of who’s political beliefs conflict with your own?

Not dealing with this currently have dealt with it in the past. My parents started out opposites but now believe similarly. I’m wondering if it is possible in this day and age.

Apparently exposing hypocracy about defunding the police gets your post reported around here.

Anybody get more active in the market after GameStop? Personally I did as I’ve been using robo, etfs, and index funds but until last week I never actually picked stocks. Now, I’m finally trading and into crypto with still a longer term focus.

Any copywriters in Miami wanna partner up and make some ads?

Morning! Today 6pm onward, we'll aim to meet to the left of the inside bar at Mr. Purple (180 Orchard Street, Manhattan) on the 15th floor for the second bi-weekly Advertising Industry Happy Hour …

‘‘Tis the season for “‘Tis the season...” headlines. (I’ve seen 2 so far this week.)

FCB, DAVID Miami, or Arts&Letters?

Anyone else unemployed and trying to stay mentally sharp during *gestures broadly to everything*? Thinking about taking an online class or something. Suggestions?

Do y’all know any good podcast interviews with copywriters? Preferably some which go into their career trajectory.

I recently switched to an agency that has some bread-and-butter type clients (e.g., manufacturing). I’m coming from health-focused clients and I’m highly creative. Honestly, I’m worried about working on these more technical accounts. Anyone else have experience moving from a high-pressure agency with a lot of room for creativity to a more laid back agency with some technical clients thrown in? How did you adjust?

Hi friends. Freelance Senior CW (7-8 years) here, currently negotiating a 2 month freelance contract at mcgarrybowen. They want my hourly rate which is always tricky in my opinion. My typical day rate is 800/day (Atlanta, Chicago). I'm thinking of saying $100/hour, but want to be competitive. Thoughts?

(For context, I have no idea whether this is for their NYC or Chicago office.)

If you‘re starting out as a fresh copywriter in a top-tier agency, how do you make yourself valuable to the team?

Do you find that you speak figuratively or in analogies more than non-copywriters?

I took a senior copywriter role too fast and my portfolio isn't as good as the other seniors :/

I'm looking for good examples of UX writing case studies and portfolio samples. Can you share links for this?

What would you say is the average time to go from Jr. Copywriter to Copywriter?

I’ve been a Jr for just over 2 years, plus a 9 month internship where I was very involved in the role. So just about 3 years experience at this agency. If I don’t get the title bump at my upcoming review, should I be worried?

For those of you copywriters who’ve transitioned to in-house, how did you edit your resume? I’m thinking companies want to know more about metrics/impact of your projects, whereas I don’t include those sort of details in ad-agency-facing resumes because it bloats the page. Thoughts?

I just had an AD flat out refuse to use my headline ideas and insist that we use his (confusing and sophomoric) headlines. What would you say/do?

For a first job in advertising, would you rather go to a place like Wieden or to a startup agency with amazing CDs, where you’re almost guaranteed to produce a lot of work and have great mentors?

What are agencies looking for in a cover letter? How risky and “creative” can I be? If anyone has a good example, that would be so helpful. (My current job did not require one.)
