Anyone have advice on exceeding expectations while on production?

Specifically how to bring the most to the table, and make the work the best it can be. Or just be a fun person to be around

1) Early on: Be vulnerable in concepting. Have fun, and make the process fun for others. With your own team and any vendors. Joke around. Voice dumb ideas. People in this work want to love what they're doing. And it will make the work better.

2) Later: On set, do more than your job. Recycle empty water bottles. Ask hair/MU if you can carry anything for them. Hold open doors. It's basic stuff... But you wouldn't believe how many creatives think that labor is beneath them. Also, take little notes all day. If you can spot inconsistencies with something that no one else noticed, you'll be hero for a day.

3) Later later (in post): Gut check things with the team regularly. A lot of people are too afraid to voice an opinion about the small stuff.

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
