What's the general vibe out there i.e., job availability, longevity, career growth? Job hopping seems to be the only way to advance but leaving a stable position is scary.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Any book or podcast recommendations for managing anger?

Anyone else ever in a slow patch where you get assigned ONE thing and still procrastinate it because you’re slowly becoming accustomed to using your down time for life stuff? I feel like I should be crushing things in an instant since my workload is so light, but I’m also enjoying this rare moment of down time before a launch later this summer...

Happy Diwali 🎇

2 part question:

- Does anyone know who Accenture uses for their 3rd party background checks?
- If i allow them to contact my current employer, do they still ask for W2’s and Paystubs?

Anyone willing to share PowerPoint templates for BPI - P2P O2C R2R

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

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

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

Is it better to be at a small shop and crank out work for smaller clients in your first year or be at a big name shop and maybe make nothing? Deciding on an offer...

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 ☹️

My AD is weak at comping/photoshop and admits it’s not their strong suit. I believe it’s hurting us. Wwyd?

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.

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 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??

I’m overdue for a raise. On average, what percentage increase should I ask for?

Hi. I’m looking for a CA, OR, or WA-based writer who’d write blog posts for a product / lifestyle site about weed and west coast weed culture. Needs to be otherwise professional & willing to use name

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?

How do you keep coming up with new headlines for the same product?

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.)

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?

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.

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

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