For copywriters? 🤔

Typically I’ve seen a $10-15k jump, but I’ll weed out options that are $5k or less. To me that’s not worth starting over with onboarding and all the hassle unless my current role is completely miserable.

I got a 50% boost by switching once.

Counter offers can go as high as 50-70%
