Anyone here have any advice on how a media person can transition into more of a production role or project management role? Almost hitting a year in media and I’m feeling pretty stagnant already.

Not sure the environment of where you work but asking for opportunities to shadow PMs in your company is usually welcome. We even have people interested within the company help out on projects and depending on workload, even take on minor clients. Then when there’s an opening, we typically move them into that spot.

So I would start with asking about shadowing and then asking about creating a plan to make the switch happen.

Best of luck!

If you are in your first year of work, I would definitely apply for PA jobs if you’re interested in production. You’re early enough on that you don’t need a portfolio and it should be a pretty simple transition, especially if you can have some production folks introduce you around. You can also pick up gig work as a PA on nights or weekends to get exposure to the production world, although an agency PA and and production-side PA are a bit different. Happy to answer any questions you have.

Recently left the Big4 without a job lined up. I’m hearing all my friends talking about busy season woes and I’m so grateful to not be in that position. I keep thinking of the long hours and it’s making me not want to job hunt. I’ve been looking at industry related tax roles, and generally like accounting but am open to exploration. Is there any such role that gives good comp, great work/life balance (I don’t even wanna be near 60 hours), and overall interesting role/company?
