Do you think unions are doing enough to protect below-the-line workers? Writers and actors made headlines, but grips, PAs, editors, and assistants still get squeezed the hardest with long hours, low pay, and little recognition. I’m grateful for the progress unions have made, but I still see crews getting run into the ground while above-the-line talent gets the spotlight.

I more could definitely be done, like you said the smaller departments are still getting squeezed and ignored a lot on set!

I still think there’s a long way to go. This industry thrives off the big names and unfortunately that means a lot of the crew go unappreciated.

I'm an accounts receivable expert with 8+ yrs of experience. I started with 96k per annum in 2014, and have worked with 4 different MNCs since then. Currently I'm getting approx 9Lpa, and it feels like I'm pretty much stuck here. Switching jobs increases the pay scale, while staying for a while reflects stability.

When I look at the other member's comments here, it seems majority of folks are earning 20-30Lpa or even more.

Any suggestions from mature audience to achieve a big pay raise.

I only applied and was accepted to one deferred MBA program (Darden) my senior year. It comes with a $30k scholarship, but at this point I only find an MBA to be worth it if it’s mostly covered. I have a 710 gmat that’s good for a couple more years, is it worth retaking to see if I could be eligible for more scholarships? At that point, should I just apply to more schools if I retake?
