Hi, I applied for a BFSI domain consultant position at TCS through Linkedin. Next day two people took my interview and said they are good to go with my profile. I might have one more tech round and HR will contact. After 4-5 days HR sent Ibegin link to create my profile and update details. Then it's been 3 weeks no other update.

Hey all! I am trying to get creative with recruiting in Chester/Richmond, VA area. What are some great sites I should post on?

I recently heard someone say that: "Wokeism is destroying academia." Curious everyone's thoughts on this...

Supposed to hear back by EOW from a hiring manager about a position I’m deep in the interview process for. There should be an iPhone setting called “mute all notifications except the one I care about”

How long does it usually take from submitting an application to first day at your new firm when switching firms?

Does Slalom offer fertility coverage? (E.g. IVF)

Do you all feel that the Health Insurance choice is actually all the same? The coverage is absolutely copy and paste for Bronze to Platinum and the deductible/copay is very similar.
I just don’t understand why we have the illusion of “choice” if the offer is the same and it is really bad (in our case).
Going from $61 per paycheck for 2.5k deductible 75% copay to $500+ per paycheck with 500 deductible 85% copay.
Other firms have better health insurance?

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

Has anyone had an issue with index match and lookups returning NA when trying to manipulate data from a password protected workbook?

If you had a table of customer experience/satisfaction survey responses for several questions (non-numeric but discrete possible answers, no free text; 1 question per column and 1 responder per row), how would you approach determining significant insights within the data? Excel's "Analyze Data" feature doesn't really suggest things that make sense in the real world. Is there something you would try with correlations somehow, or would you use a non-Excel tool entirely?

Does Deloitte USI reimburses the EA/CPA fees? If yes, what is the reimbursement amount?

How do you say “buy this product” in a headline without saying “buy this product”?

A Junior Copywriter with a shitty brief and an even shittier turnover time 😭😭🥹

Copywriters, what are your main responsibilities on a shoot? I haven’t worked on many and am never sure if I’m being helpful enough. I’m always ready to do rewrites on the spot if need be, but don’t know if there’s anything else I should be helping the team with on set.

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.

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?

What should I charge as an hourly rate as a freelancer in Minneapolis (I'm assuming the location matters a lot) with 1.5 years experience and a BA in Journalism? *cue Avenue Q song*

Is $75-$100 reasonable?

I have a job interview next week and all they said was "rate is negotiable," so I worry about going too low or too high.

There’s an Art Director at my job who helped with a new business pitch and came up with the WORST headline construct without consulting me or any copywriter. (Cont)

Does anyone else balk a little bit when applying for jobs and the recruiter or job description mentions a lot of blog writing and other content like that?

I NEED A SYNONYM FOR “EXPERIENCE". As in, “experience amazing bullshit innovation like never before.” -it’s a luxury product no one needs but needs to be “elevated”. I’ve used experience too much.

Hi guys, may i ask how do you guys prepare a creative deck for proposal to a client?

Any good job boards besides LinkedIn for creative staffing? I’m on working not working but that doesn’t seem super busy.

Wondering if there’s any industry or city specific stuff out there?

Copy for paid social and funnels: online course best practices? Anybody have a good resource for direct response Ad copy that converts?

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?

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'm up for a pharma agency senior CW role in the Rx/HCP vertical. I have been freelancing for 11 years, so mostly contract rates between $50 and $80 p/h (lower end on W2, higher 1099). They want to know my 1099 rate and salary requirements if full-time employee. Would $75 hourly and $110K be within range? They are in Philadelphia. I have been working in the Chicago, San Fran, and NYC markets mostly.

Anyone else unemployed and trying to stay mentally sharp during *gestures broadly to everything*? Thinking about taking an online class or something. Suggestions?

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.
