Hey folks. I’ve been in the game for about 17 years now, currently work at a large agency as a CD (Art). Im looking to change to a more operational role because it’s more or less what I spend my days doing now and I’ve grown to like it — keeping things on the rails, the organization, managing, etc. Anyone here ever make a jump and care to share? I want to start searching aggressively. Many thanks.

Like resource management? If so, my agency desperately needs one. You'd need to be in LA or NY tho

Unfortunately I’m not in LA or NY.

I might have a good role for you! You’d lose the director title though… It’s a senior program manager role—you’d be managing a team of PMs and creatives (alongside the GCD). DM if you’re interested and I can give you more info.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
