‘At Lucky Hunter, there's an atmosphere of mutual understanding and support. We're not just cogs in a machine. We are part of something bigger that unites us’

I joined Lucky Hunter in December 2018 as a copywriter. I still vividly remember how I came across the job opening. At that time, I had just graduated from university, and my main goal was to work remotely: the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world without wasting time commuting to an office really appealed to me. Like any junior professional, it was challenging for me to find a job without prior experience. However, I took online courses, published articles on various platforms, and fully immersed myself in copywriting.

When I applied for the position at Lucky Hunter, I honestly didn't expect to receive a response since it was my hundredth application. But to my surprise, I did get a reply! I completed a test assignment and was subsequently invited for an interview. I was quite nervous, as it was my first-ever interview, but everything went well, and I was offered the job.

Initially, my primary responsibility was writing one to two articles per week. However, as time passed, I took on additional tasks and responsibilities. I began working on website content, managing social media, editing videos, designing, handling PR matters, and more. As our company rapidly grew, managing everything on my own became overwhelming. After a year, we hired the first assistant, who focused on content-related tasks.

— During my almost 5-year tenure at the company, many changes have taken place, both internally and externally. The company's positioning, website, the markets we operate in, and our approach to work have all undergone transformations. Initially, we had an office in St. Petersburg, but external circumstances influenced our operations. Firstly, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we transitioned to a hybrid work format. Then, in February 2022, we decided to completely close our office. Some team members relocated to different countries, and Tanya moved to London. This shift required the team to adapt to remote work and to learn to collaborate across various time zones.

Our client base has also evolved. Previously, we served a diverse range of companies, including banks and joint-stock corporations. However, we have now narrowed our focus to working with IT companies. Furthermore, we expanded our global presence by establishing four new offices worldwide, signifying a considerable international milestone.

We are continually growing and striving for excellence in all aspects. While we previously relied on learning from our own experiences and mistakes, we now recognise the importance of acquiring knowledge and expertise from more proficient specialists.

At that time, it was a pleasant surprise for me to see the company organise an event where you could come and enjoy yourself without thinking about work. In general, all the corporate events at Lucky Hunter are special. Tanya always arranges something unique. For example, we went on a weekend trip to a countryside house near St. Petersburg, where we swam, had a BBQ, and simply enjoyed each other's company. We also attended conferences in different cities: it was an extraordinary experience where leisure blended with work – it was fantastic.

Of course, there are moments when I feel tired or simply don't feel like working. In such cases, I take a break, rest, switch to something else, or go for a short walk. Then I return to my tasks and get back into the work rhythm. However, most of the time, I don't need to take such breaks because I understand I have the freedom of choice. I can organise my day in any way, as long as my work is done well. Thanks to this understanding, burnout or a feeling of exhaustion rarely occurs for me.
