Why are junior copy jobs so hard to come by? Everywhere I’m looking for only has postings for senior copywriters. Does anyone know anyone looking for any junior copywriters?

Just apply for mid level.

I’ve never had a junior title. Went straight from “intern” to “copywriter."

There are many shops that don’t even have junior creatives. Just apply for midlevel, and take the bottom part of a midlevel salary.

In other words, I started at $60k as a “copywriter” which is actually pretty low for mid level.

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them. I feel like the suggested strategies for developing business are always the same: network, build your brand (hate this phrase), market yourself on LinkedIn, etc. Does any of this work? Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.

I've been in an agency for two months, the creative team here are so individualistic, everyone does their own thing. It doesn't feel like a community at all. Feel so empty here but this is my first agency so it's too soon to move..

I'm so stressed and nearing my limit 😪. My design partner for several years now, loves to pretend she's the CD and markup my work. Historically I've let it slide because she has good suggestions. But lately she outright changes my copy and tells me later. I'm easygoing and they're good suggestions so I try to ignore but its getting worse and borderline disrespectful. We work exclusively together so if I rock the boat its going to get even more uncomfortable. What would you do?

Freelance rate for a :30 national broadcast spot script?

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Busted my ass working with the creatives on the side until I was able to build a decent enough portfolio for an agency to take a chance on me as a full time CW. I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?
