Are streaming projects worth the gamble anymore? They used to feel like the golden ticket, now it feels like chaos. Short orders, cancellations after one season, and no residuals worth mentioning, etc. Wondering if it's better to hold out for something I know will be more stable in the long run.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If you do seriously feel like you will be missing out on opportunities by taking it, then that makes sense. But sometimes it is better to take the questionable thing over nothing.

It's up to you to decide what matters most in a job to you, but the networking opportunities one can gain from these projects make it totally worth it for me.

A job is a job I guess, a lot of this industry is like that unfortunately. “Security” doesn’t come with a lot of the roles we get.

I think the networking and more opportunities would mean they’re still good to be on but definitely riskier now.

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
