Are corporate employees in the entertainment industry, like those working in marketing for a record label, finance at a movie studio, or HR at a TV station, etc, well compensated in LA? I’m curious about pay for those doing typical 9-to-5 corporate roles at a media conglomerate, film studio, or record label. I've always wanted to work in entertainment but don't know too much about whether it's a lucrative career or not.

From what I’ve seen, they can pay pretty well, especially if you land a spot at a bigger company. Some people get really competitive salaries and nice perks, but it honestly depends on your specific role, your experience, and which company you’re at. Not every job is glamorous and high-paying right away, and some entry-level roles aren’t much different than other industries. But overall, if you’re with a well-known media conglomerate or studio, the compensation is usually above average for a standard 9-to-5.

Not in comparison to the cost of living.

If you don’t have a CD above you and you are doing the work, do you just send it off or do you ask other creatives for their take? Seems weird to just do work and present it without a gut check from somewhere.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hi all,

Looking for a little help on developing a website prototype to test (app too if possible). I need:

A backend that allows for volunteers to add their availability hours (something like Calendly integration), short bio, profile pic etc

A front end that requires users to sign up, and then lets them directly sign up with the volunteers.

I looked at Wix online booking system but you can only schedule staff by working hours. Built sites on WP before but lacking in time currently.
