I’m senior level but only have been hit up for mid-level Producer rates, which has been a bummer. I’m doing one of those gigs for now since I need the work and it will keep me busy until end of year. The work itself hasn’t been that bad so far either so I’ll take that

Ouch. But I hear you.

It’s been thin for me

Hope so!! I live in New Orleans. It’s a deeply talented production town b/c of the movie industry.

The ad industry … not so much. Its hard to establish new contacts remotely. Not impossible but hard.

Word is that it’s been slow, but i still get hit up fairly often

Rates seem to be low everywhere except the Big ad agency holding companies...

@op - where are you based?

NYC

Starting a new job at Applied Materials on Monday as a Manufacturing Engineer III.

So not only is this a new experience for me going into such a large company but also a industry (semiconductors). Does anybody has tips or advices on what I should expect as a new hire and how I can set myself up for success? Thanks!

Hi guys! Had a call with a recruiter and they asked for my email to send me the link to apply. Haven’t heard since the initial call, thinking I might have failed the screening call. Would that deter you from applying online? For context, recruiter reached out first and the company was not on my radar before. After some research I got interested, but haven’t articulated that clearly enough on my call (didn’t expect I was going to be asked questions and thought I would just hear about openings).

Does anyone have any advise on how to become a staff video editor at a creative production company? They usually don't have any "job openings" listed on their site.

I have 5+ years of experience working at a creative ad agency, but much of the work was pitch/sizzle videos (yuck).

I'm freelancing now which has been a great step in the right direction but I'd eventually love to be on staff at a post house like The Den, Cut+Run, Company 3 etc. pumping out cool work. Just seems hard to break in.
