Not every copywriter needs to be a “thought leader.” You can be great at your job without turning every insight into a carousel post. When did we start confusing being good at writing with being good at LinkedIn?

Hi Sharks!
I had interviewed with PwC India for Business Analyst role at Pune location, my both Manager round and Client round went well. However I have still not received any call/ offer from HR. I did call the HR she told me that they have not heard back from the Client.
Any idea how much time does the HR can take if they want to give offer.
My last working day is on this Friday and will have to join other company on Monday if dnt received offer from PwC. Please guide me.

Thoughts on juice cleanses?

Pretty new to federal consulting. Is it normal to experience extremely slow days. Like there’s nothing to do because our deliverables have been submitted and the client is on vacation.

If you absconded from a company but have the relieving letter and 2 UAN, do you show it in your experience in the CV?

Hi Fishes,

If the TSC HR generates offer letter for me , I accept the offer & later in the joining date decide to not join TCS, will I be blacklisted from joining the company again like an ex-TCSr is blocked from joining TCS>?

anyone ever work for salesforce directly? how has the experience been? why work for consultancies rather than the company itself?

I am wanting to start investing in real estate in the new year… I’m using this month to read up on it and familiarize myself with it. I am a true beginner and wanted to ask for any tips, tricks, advice, books, videos, magazines, podcasts, etc to start? Please let me know!

Currently an associate at a mid-sized firm with “strong potential” to make partner at the end of this year. Things have been toxic for a while, but have cratered in 2021, with few signs there will be any positive changes on the horizon. What are the pros and cons of staying to make partner before trying to go in-house? I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.

What's up with american funds? They seem like the hottest "it" fund--is it all marketing and hype or do you believe this is the hottest fund company on the street? Which mutual funds are you selling

I put this in another bowl so apologies if you’ve seen it already!

Looking for Club Suggestions for 6th grade!

I want to start a club for my 6th graders so they can be more active around the school, but I can’t figure out what I want to do so I’m looking for ideas! What are some cool clubs / activities you have at your schools?

Do you charge your clients for time spent on email communication?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

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

If that’s your Art Director, then why is he in my google doc?

My AD is weak at comping/photoshop and admits it’s not their strong suit. I believe it’s hurting us. Wwyd?

What about using 3 one-word sentences as a slogan? I feel like it’s super played out, but I get suggestions for it all the time. Can’t we do better than mashing together words from the crestive brief?

Please help! I'm looking for writing terminology. At our agency, we are getting more into creative writing vs ... executional writing? Please help me find the right term. Creative means developing the big idea (concepting), writing scripts and headlines with flair, etc.) for an awareness "hook" and then the other camp, which includes brochures, one pagers, banner ads, sales sheets.

What should we call the other type of writing? (Cont in comments)

Are puns always bad? I like them as cheat codes for making boring things slightly more entertaining. I don’t want to spend hours thinking for a line for a social post we are just doing to fill up a content calendar

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!

Sick of writing emails client-side all day and can’t seem to get into an agency. What’s another career path for a copywriter? Getting too old to try and become a teacher or anything.

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.

Working with a Junior AD who’s too opinionated & doesn’t respond to my feedback well. He’ll just show ideas that I’ve already debunked/scripts that aren’t very good, which makes me look bad. Advice?

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?

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.
