I work in film and TV and the wages are pretty terrible across the board, for other people in this industry do they ever get better? I want to hold out hope but I’m not against jumping ship entirely.

Wages are bad across the board in most industries right now. If you are serious about a change, it might be a good ramp-up time to take a course, get certification, or something. Then, when the market gets better, you could potentially pivot out and be at a better wage.

Ah that’s quite disheartening, maybe I’ll just stay where I am then at least I somewhat enjoy it.

It does seem like wages are just stagnant all over. And the job market isn't great, which is partly why the wages are stuck, companies know employees don't have many options to move on. It's not a good time to be jumping ship, but looking for a new opportunity while clinging on to one's present job makes sense.

Sucks that it’s bad everywhere, just want a comfortable wage so I can stop worrying so much about my outgoings.

Started a new job a year ago, high performer. My manager suggested a promotion to Product Manager since that‘s the work I’m doing, but that would be a 50% raise. Higher ups decided instead to make a “new role” (not PM), that has no analog in the company and is hard to price via Glassdoor, etc. I feel like this is to limit my promotion salary to something like 10% from where it currently is. Is there anything I can do? FWIW: I have a PhD from top 5 program and am working in that field. Thanks!

Hi all. I just received an offer for $130k and will be eligible for about 29,000 shares of stock options. The vesting schedule is 1 year and then quarterly thereafter.

Can someone explain what this means? I “will be eligible”. So, I have to buy the shares? Should I be asking at what price?
