I weaseled my way in starting in a different department. So widen your net. Also, check in house production - each agency has an internal production company and they will likely be more interested in your background. Then it’ll be easier to transition to agency producer at the agency, if you want.

Where are you based?

One option I’d consider is going to a smaller market that has an agency doing big work. They will throw you under fire and you will learn a lot more in less time than any big agency in NY.

Is there a salary/dollar figure you'd need to be making to justify being someone who is tuned to work and emails at all hours and days? I am in a position where I can shut off in the evenings and on the weekends .. however another step up the corporate ladder would mean a nice pay increase, but the tradeoff is losing on the work-life balance front. Is there a salary you all would be comfortable to give up some work life balance? In my head that amount is $90k USD ... whats your number?

Advice: I'm currently working at an in-house agency producing and directing full-length branded videos and social content.

Would the next step be to wait and catch the eye of an agent or freelance & start my own production company?
