Thinking about going from copywriting to UX writing or content design but all I see are jobs that req 2+ YOE. Would adding spec case studies to my portfolio help? Or should I just find a marketing job somewhere like Nvidia and learn UX in the meantime?

You should build a portfolio by looking for jobs on Upwork! I think employers respect a portfolio more than YOE in this field

Thanks! I’ve seen mixed reviews of Upwork so I wasn’t sure. Trying to get around this catch-22 for writing jobs is always a challenge so I‘ll definitely look for ways to expand my portfolio.

Agreed with above, a portfolio is a strong tool for yourself. I would maybe do something like Nvidia to get some cash coming in the meantime while you develop a portfolio for UX and then transition out

Thanks! Been looking for ways to broaden my experience beyond being just a copywriter.

Hello! I’ve been working as a photographer for 15 years both as an employee and a freelancer. I started working full time with my current company a year ago. They’ve just offered me a new position: Creative Services Manager (in house for 4 related brands). I have no official experience in this field and had never heard of it before but feel like it will essentially be a creative director. I will also maintain the photography duties for the time being. Any idea what salary I should ask for?

A bit off topic but relevant.

Did anyone hear abt TekFog &

Does anyone has any insights into it beyond the company blog post claiming they are not involved. Also how is the work culture there, are these sort things even believable for such company ?

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
