First year: how long without a full ramp up before I should worry? I’m sub-250 hours since I started (3.5 months) and the firm/group are both busy. Other first years in my group are mixed. Worried I’m missing the reps that first years are getting at other firms. Enjoying the freedom while I have it, but I’m still thinking this is odd. Any advice, action steps, anecdotes, etc. appreciated.

What is a material billable hours difference from your peers at the same group? If I bill 150 less a year than another associate should I be worried?

Some argue Biden is going to keep pushing interest pause til next election then forgive 10k as a strategy to help get re-elected?

This whole to tip or not to tip debate on Uber is frustrating me. Shouldn't the tip be built into the sticker price?

In the process of interviewing for a strategy/Corp dev position at an activewear/athleisure company and they want me to think of a couple tangential industries that may have companies for acquisition and do a write up. I’m stumped on what else an activewear company would buy besides other activewear companies. I can only think of home fitness (Lulu’s Mirror) or vitamins/supplements. Any thoughts?

Currently a staff attorney in US firm, hoping to secure the permanent position as Associate after contract ends. Any advice?

As a liberal arts student, I’ve been piecing together how to create a killer portfolio but am at a point where I need some personal feedback. Would anyone be willing to look my portfolio over and provide advice on how to improve it? Thank you!

Hi there—have an interview this Friday and it’s been a while since I’ve had one in person. What’s standard these days? Is it expected to have a trimmed down deck with your work or is it okay to walk through your site? Thanks in advance!

I'm new to being a UX designer.... is it ok to have 1 project in my portfolio...

POV: you're an AD* looking for a copy (me) to build our portfolio together and work in... London?

DM:
1) if your seniority is mid/senior or you won an award (Lions, D&AD, One Show..)
2) 3 fav Cannes Lions 2022 campaigns*
3) 3 creatives you love
We create 3 campaigns before XMas and maybe in 2023 we'll start dream big!
Let's make 3 our magic number

* I ask just because if your work is focused on editorial design, that is a different field. I wish you like strategic thinking. Thank you, bye!

Just finished Train Dreams by Denis Johnson. Superb. Gonna start Tree of Smoke next.

Trying to refresh my portfolio and thinking about switching to a different platform, what are my fellow copywriters’ fave sites to use?? I’m currently using wix since it’s free, but it’s given me many headaches trying to get it how I want my portfolio to look. I’m also looking into Copyfolio as well.
