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.
