One of my biggest career wins came from a random Twitter DM I almost ignored. Someone liked a snarky subject line I posted, we started chatting, and it turned into a legit friendship. She’s sent me five freelance gigs in the past year. But now I find myself wondering: how do you keep those friendships real without it feeling transactional? I want to be part of a creative circle that vibes over writing and life, not just swapping leads. How do you build genuine copywriter relationships that aren’t just low-key networking in disguise?

Can someone give me high level description of the quant portion of your case @BCG to give me a sense of what to expect in interviews

Guys I can’t stop

Needing to sell a bunch of apples at a store before 10pm so I can get a better price. Anyone online now willing to share a Dodo code so I can sell and then leave? Thanks!

Hello! Does any one have any insight/advice for a McKinsey interview? I have a call with a McK recruiter next week to discuss my background, which will hopefully lead to official interviews. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I’m new to exploring the mgmt consulting world.

I wonder, why everyone is not applying for FAANG and they’re happy with startups or other companies? (Not talking about who are not able to clear the interviews )

is anyone familiar with pay differentials, negotiating for a temporary raise or some other form of compensation for extra work? 3 coworkers on my team have recently resigned, and certain shifts are being expected to work at half staff until new hires can be brought on. if my workload is being doubled, i expect to be compensated, as they are paying one employee to do the work of two. any suggestions or wording on how to address this?

Anyone with insight on Tenzing Private Equity? Everything notable is appreciated!

Is 16LPA low for 5Exp. Devops background

Does anyone have any experience or insight into any of the audit firms that focus specifically on digital assets, crypto mining, blockchain etc for e.g Cohen & Co ?

What’s the typical salary for a SA2 in Advisory with 5 years of experience (2.5 years in consulting) in a hcol city (east coast)?

What’s the salary for a manager 3/senior manager for FDD at pwc? Also, does anyone have tips on getting signing bonuses? Have conversations next week. Thanks all!

Anyone else noticing how much more difficult it is to find parking now that the ~200k college students are back?

What is your secret of success that other people normally don’t have?

What do you think you have that makes you stand out?

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.

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.

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

RANT: People re-writing a cw’s stuff has always been painful. These days it’s far more common than when I started. It’d be one thing if they upgraded the work. If I learned from it. If I genuinely seethed with envy over their wit w/that perfectly placed semi-colon. People can’t re-art direct stuff bc they don’t know the programs so they ask the ADs for changes. Word and a keyboard made everyone think they can write. Which they can’t. Google Slides is Google slip ‘n slide into (bad ref. here.)

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

How old were you when you started as a junior copywriter?

Have too much on your desk? Maybe one of those briefs is a bit boring?
Send it my way, I'm here to flex my copy muscles for you.

All I ask is you give me feedback when I send it back.

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

Would any of you goofballs want to join an informal drinking group for copywriters who write non-advertising stuff like fiction, non-fiction, comedy, plays, poetry or whatever?

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

Anyone doing NaNoWriMo this year?

I think it’s so crazy that once you sign-full time as a CW, you can’t freelance as well. Feels like there’s so many opportunities out there for freelance roles but the full-time gig steals us from them ☹️

Shout out to everyone who’s ever had a white paper to “copyedit” that they just ended up rewriting entirely. I’m there today.

Conceptually, is it typical for copywriters to bring far more ideas to the table than their AD partner?

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

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.

How common is it for writers to go to the video shoot they co-wrote? If they aren’t invited, and the CDs go instead, is that a leadership perk or an insult?
