Question for the group - I am regularly completing 4 or 5 projects a day. Is that a normal workload for copywriters? I am starting to feel tired and sometimes I feel like I don't have time to properly research. But maybe I should stop complaining lol

I don't know. Seems pretty normal to me. I've regularly had a roster of 15-20 projects routing in tandem, of which I'll probably see/review/push 5-10 a day.

depends — what kinds of projects?

Also depends what the client is paying for. They may be paying for - and you may be expected to deliver - copy and messaging that requires speed versus deep conceptual work. That is part of the job too.

thats a great thing you are doing. completing 4 or 5 projects on daily basis is a big thing. Keep shining

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?

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)
