Anyone enter the festival/entertainment industry (i.e. Superfly, Madison House Presents, Insomniac Events) from digital media? Need advice on whether to pursue dream#1 or dream#2 (digital consulting)

Totally different industries. You’ll have a lot more diversity of intelligence and scrappiness in entertainment. I’d guess they pay much less than consulting as well except at the top spots. But much more opportunity to start your own thing or take risks with partners.

It’s dream 1 though. Pursue it. Sounds like you are young and if you don’t like it you can always bounce somewhere

PWC 1 - thanks for the perspective! I’ve actually restarted once already and took a demotion to transition from digital analytics to digital media buying. The open spots in the festival/entertainment industry are either very entry level, mid-level in PR or operations, or very upper-level in marketing/media. The spots in digital consulting are more relevant to my current work experience, and while I call it dream #2, it’s really not that far behind. Do you happen to work on PWC’s digital services accounts? Any insight you can share would be great! 😊🙏🏻
