wouldn't this depend entirely on what you're looking for in terms of the type of work you're interested in, WLB, compensation, long term career goals, etc. In a vacuum, its hard to say what's "better" as there's nothing that's inherently "better" than the other.

I feel burnt out by how ruthless the tech industry in US is, but I also know I’m making much more money than people outside of tech or consulting.

How do you adjust your WLB?
I’m so burnt out that I wish I could yell at people who were not kind or supportive to me, but those people often unfortunately were in position of power.
I don’t like unkindness, but my anger is just very bottled up…

How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?
