Well established agency or small independent boutique shop? Pros/cons for someone wanting a change from the content factory

Happy short month

Hi All,
I have 3 offers - Cloudera, Epsilon and TIAA.
Tech Stack - Big Data
TIAA and Epsilon is offering around 4 lakh more fixed CTC compared to Cloudera. As I belong to Big Data I'm inclined towards Cloudera but needs suggestion

I have started my career in backend web development. (NodeJS)
It's been one year.
So far I like what I'm doing.
However I hear so many stories of how people in cloud , ML or data science earn huge packages.
So, to survive or earn well, should I consider switching to any of these ?
If possible could you help me with what to learn and any resources for that ?

Please help with 11 likes. Thank you

Kindly recommend some self help books!

Sooo AMC.. who’s in?

Hi Guys

Does anyone knows about Virtusa ? They are offering me considerably high offer compared to others but I am not sure as I don't know much about the company or anyone who works there ? Project is Legato Healthcare.

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance 🙏

Are there any casualties of the Coram/Optum infusion layoffs in the bowl? How is your job search going?

Update got fired: Based on previous post to pick up a Lower CTC (offer $$) or not
I'm planning on taking a lower money job

How's a response to my future hire a year later

I got laid off due to covid. I picked up this opportunity to pay my bills (40% lower Money)

So had to do this for a while

Hi all, my name is Alex and I just joined the bowl :)
Im graduating in may with a BS in Industrial Engineering. Ive also held a Data Analyst Internship for 1 year with a small construction company. Anyone have advice where this combination of education and experience would make me most competitive in terms of roles/companies?

Have you talked about your wedding with coworkers? I made the mistake of saying I had to leave work a little early one day because I was going to do a tasting at my venue. That starts a debate on why one shouldn’t get married, how much wedding costs & what a waste it is, dresses are stupid because you only wear them once, etc. I haven’t talked about my wedding much, but I didn’t appreciate this. I ignored the negative comments and we moved the conversation along. Not talking about that anymore!

Hi fishes,
Just wanted to know work life culture in publicis. Got selected and I’m in a confusion on seeing glassdoor reviews.

Has anyone who lateraled for an experienced IB role gotten moving expenses reimbursed? If so, how much was it? Thanks

Anyone familiar with Marsh & McLennan? Am I understating correctly that it’s the parent company of OW?

Anyone interested to participate in kaggle competition?

Who’s excited for Lover??? One month to go!

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?

I'm not the best at coming up with lines on the spot. I can write good lines when I'm by myself in front of my laptop, but not when I'm talking with my CD or someone else. Is this considered an issue?

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)

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?

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

Who’s working in house in LA? Where? Doing what?

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

I was hired to work on one account as the only writer. Told they’re handing me another account (or they may hire another writer). I need and want more responsibility and $$. How to negotiate??

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!

I need a hilarious name for my new WiFi router and thought a Copywriter’s forum was the perfect place to go. Any suggestions?

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.

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.

"Why'd you use this language?"

Anyone do any work in web3/blockchain/metaverse?

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?

wisdom on getting promoted to mid-level at the same agency? I’d hate to leave but I’m coming up on 3 years of (real) experience & my agency is known to have CDs come in as seniors so I’m pessimistic
