Hey all. What’s the vibe in the boutique post house world in terms of looming recession, economy, etc. I have not been hearing much slow down or anxiety which is surprising. Most curious about NYC market. Thanks for your insights.

Does anyone else check in with their employees within 45 days of their hire? If not, how are you guys going about employee experience and engagement/onboarding?

Reasonably talented ACD getting desperate to leave my current gig. Appreciate any leads.

Looking for a good daycare or nanny in Cambridge. About a year out but everywhere seems to have waitlists. Any guidance here?

Books on human psychology that have affected you. I'll start: influence, sales Bible, on killing.

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that’s kind of silly. I work at a pretty small company leading marketing. My title is technically Marketing Lead but I want to put Head of Marketing on my LinkedIn etc. I think of these titles as totally interchangeable—I just like the way the second one reads better. I know titles don’t really matter, but I’m battling a little bit of imposter syndrome.

What does everyone else think?

Anyone wanna rant? If so, please provide details of the craziest shit u have been through in ur career🤗

"There's no whining in baseball!", said very seriously and earnestly ..... to the office dog.

Has anyone transitioned out of immigration law?

Third year associate at an AmLaw 100 firm (non Frag or BAL, but doesn’t pay market), and I feel that growth is severely limited in this field.

is it allowed to bring in outsiders e.g. parents, friends to the office for a visit as allowed in companies like CISCO, VMWARE, ETC. ETC.

So do higher ups (managers/directors/etc) in FFD talk to each other about the progress of seniors and associates in a similar manner to how the staff are ranked during audit roundtables??

Hello!

I am currently working in USA and my company offered me a role in Belfast, UK. I would really appreciate some information that would make me more comfortable in accepting the position:

1. What is the salary range for a Senior Data Analyst in Belfast?
2. What is the cost of living in Belfast for a single individual - information like rent, groceries and transportation will be very useful.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all 👋 new to the bowl today.

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Good recommendations for physical therapists in the area?

Hi everyone, I'm so glad I found this bowl! Feels a little quiet lately, anyone have any wins or insights they're dying to share with like-minded folks?

I'll start: I want my agency to speak to...

Has anyone done a UX bootcamp? I am still in the beginning stages of mine and NYC summer has been crazy distracting. Has anyone gone through the same? If so, how did you overcome this?

Website question: is it bad to have a few spots that are over five years old? I keep them down at the bottom and the majority are much newer so they sort of serve as a ‘best of’ my older work.

Thinking about making the jump from senior level in-house to freelance. 12+ years experience. Shoot, edit, color, after effects, mix, etc. What kind of day rate could I expect in Mpls or Chi?

Are post-houses ramping back to in-person? I’m freelance and so far have had a couple in-person sessions but everything else has still been remote. I’m in NYC.

Are y’all raising rates to account for inflation? Am I stupid if I haven’t yet?

Hey editor fishes! How is 2021 starting off for everyone? I often find this time of year slow but so far I’ve been pretty busy!

What platforms do folks use for vault / element management these days? I need to build a new library. Is it still klugey FileMaker databases?

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

What’s the highest day rate you’ve heard of an editor charging? I just found out what somebody is charging and it made my jaw drop.

Can anyone explain how it works getting paid at a post production facility with editors on roster ? (trim / final cut / Whitehouse post) what's the range of salary typically ?

What would you do in this situation? I signed a schedule A for one weeks work at Company A for $600 per day and then company B offered me 2 weeks work at $800 per day.

Does anyone know a good website where I can search for movie clips based on categories “man mowing lawn” etc.

Are ad agencies typically signatories of Local 700 Agreements?

I’m so glad this bowl finally exists.

Anyone have a magic number that would make you give up freelancing and take a staff job? (New York)

Fellow editors, I’m leaving somewhere where I’ve been in-house for 5 years, and was in-house 2 other place before that. I’m realizing that while I’m excellent at my craft, I’m not an excellent freelancer. Any advice for someone striking out on their own (and not in LA/NY)?

Roll call. How much experience? Do you staff in a boutique? An agency? Freelance? If freelance, do you usually work in agency studios, prodcos...? Do you bring on a post producer to help on big jobs?

Beginner video editing advice wanted - I’m working on a personal side gig project. As part of that, I’m recording short interviews with people currently using a camera and/or iPhone .. (cont)

I’m new to freelancing, at a senior level and in NYC. Can anyone give me a range of what day rate would be appropriate to charge? Thank you!!
