Humble pie. Invest in yourself and start down the ranks. You’ve never been a producer, so you can’t expect a lateral move. If you’re good you’ll move fast. Good luck. I’ve seen plenty of people do it.

If there isn’t an opportunity at your agency, you might have better luck applying for associate producer jobs. I know a few former senior level account people who are now producers had do it that way.

I’m currently in between jobs so unfortunately I don’t have the opportunity to tap into in-house roles. That said, I have probably let my pride get in the way of looking for associate roles but realize it’s the reality if I really want to make the change (which I do). Thank you!!

Associate isn’t bad, and in production it’s especially important not to level up in seniority without earning your stripes! You’ll learn a lot as an associate and be responsible for your own productions

You may have had a lot of experience on set by video village but there is a lot to learn about what happened before you got there, and how to manage the shoot from the other side. You’ll need to start a little lower and move up the ranks. It’s not a lateral move but you will bring insight and hopefully move up quickly.

Can you transition within your own company? Find a production mentor and speak to it when applying to roles in a thoughtful cover letter?

like

Call up reps, producers you worked with previously, and freelance producers in your town for production cos and post houses. Offer to jump in on small projects or other items and then you will most likely get on sets which will help you see from other side all that goes in. Offer to coordinate on set

You’ll likely have to start over but your rise through the ranks will be fast. Worth the step back for a jump forward.

Why do you think you’d make a good producer? Think about it. And I’ll tell you honestly why I think you could or couldn’t.

I gave 3rd round interview yesterday with hiring manager and hr called and said I cleared it and there is one more final round with On-site manager.

Today he called and said that the hiring manager who took my interview forwarded me to another panel and there is one more round with different manager and only if I clear then there will be another final round with on-site manager

what does that mean?

So I had two interviews today in the industry that I’ve been trying to work for since before I graduated college in 2020. I came onto my current firm as a contractor and then converted. I know it’s to early since I don’t even have an offer but I’d like your thoughts. 1st interview was with a staffing company offering a contract to hire position within a department where I want to work at Wells Fargo. The title is what I want but the responsibilities do not relate to what I want.

Hello fellow UX-ers. I recently interviewed for a role and one of the interviewers on the panel asked me if I've done any projects other than for my current company.

Has anyone experienced this kind of question before? What was your answer?

Recently got called for an interview for strategy/ operations role by a Faang company. I had my first screening call with the hiring manager, mostly all behavioral questions so hard to tell the result. The one area I felt I could probably brush up on is program management as my current industry is Pharma and tech industries are different. So any advice on program management interview guidance would be helpful. I have 18 yoe but still quite stressed about it.
