At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project. I believe I'm on track to promotion in the next year. So, I could put in a year of full time school to check the box off, but I'd be sacrificing hobbies and social life (not to mention cost). Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?

Having seen some of the wild stuff in the past couple years does anyone have a good pointer for a basic “medic” course? Help slow/stop the “oh sh*t” for the real folks to get there?

Anyone from intelligent automation or RPA Team got their hike?

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

I’m new to this space so not sure about what kind of roles there are?

Post 3 months, I apply for a transfer. Transfer process delayed for some process reasons
No negatives/issues in my f22 feedback. Utilization above target. Way Above average
Recently fired without reason
Who should I escalate to?

Hi all! I just moved to Austin and know absolutely no one. If you’re in your mid to late twenties and are interested in adding a queer girl to your friend group, let me buy you a drink! Shameless, I know, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My interests include Michigan football, bar hopping, water sports, and real estate 🙂

Is the pace and WLB a lot different between T1 and T2 firms in the middle east?

Lame CPA jokes?

If minimum wage is increased to $15 dollars, what else do you think will be affected? Do you think other salaries will increase, do you think there will be a jump in prices, or will there be no changes besides less people in poverty?

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)?

Hi friends, any agency editors gone from editing in house to art or creative directing? If so, how? I love editing, but I see myself in a more conceptual role down the road. Thanks for any insights y’all can provide ❤️

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!

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?

Pitch videos. It has now become standard to be handed a vo script with no thought as to what’s on screen. When did the editor's job become thinking up the images as well?

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

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?

How’s everyone doing out there? Busy? Slow? Remote? In person? Lower rates?

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

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.

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.

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

EDITORS.. do you find that you work weekends on EVERY SINGLE JOB when your cutting for the first screening? No matter what the job is like, no matter how complicated or not, no matter the ship date, I find that I have to work weekends to accommodate the first screening.

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’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.
