I am passionate about getting a position within the entertainment or tech industry. I am currently an analyst consultant for a consulting firm making 80k 2 YOE. The data analyst position within the media company is 80k-85k. Should I take the new position even though the pay isn’t that big of a jump? I am not unhappy with my current position this is just an industry I am passionate to get into. Thanks in advance!

I moved to consulting from the entertainment industry (on the artist representation side). From my experience it’s pretty tough to break in so if you have the opportunity to do so and think this is a passion of yours then I’d suggest going for it. Feel free to dm me if you have other questions

Take the opportunity while you can! Best of luck!!

I would definitely take it because it gets you closer to what you want to do, and those kind of opportunities are rare. Time is of essence and the earlier you get exposure to the industry you want, the better. It gets easier to pivot within industry once you gained relevant experience/have media on your cv.

My concern wouldnt be so much on the comp given it’s pretty much the same/not a pay cut. My concern would be more of the role, from analyst consultant to data analyst the job scope is less strategic, if you want to then go from data to strategy again that would be more difficult I think.

I think it’s up to you. If the role is similar to what you want to do then it’s fine, if it is a small subset of the things you want to do (e.g data) but you are currently doing strategy and want to do strategy then I would try to get a strategy role in the field. Having said that though, it’s not a dealbreaker cause you can still pivot after, just harder so you might want to consider that.

So I’m planning on leaving my position before school starts, but the application and interview process has been slow. At this point I’m afraid I won’t find a job until late July. Should I let my school now and let them post my job as an anticipated position? I’d hate for them to have to find someone last minute, but I also want to keep that school as a fall back just in case. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible position and there has not been a lot of interest in it in the past.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
