If you’re a producer looking to include budget underage in your compensation - how would you structure it? By percentage?

Huh? If you come under budget on a job you save the client money and get a pat on the back. You DON’T get a piece of the savings. WTF?

Yea on the production side 😬

Yes you should structure it as a percentage of the savings on a job, usually paid out as a bonus once the project wraps.

I believe you are talking from the production side. This doesn’t happen on the agency side. A lot of production companies have underage deals with their directors. Not producers. But I do agree with president 1, that is might sacrifice the job. That being said I work on both sides and if a job came in really under I have gotten a bonus before. But it’s never something I’ve worked out ahead of time.

That would just lead to producers cutting corners, quality and safety to come under and earn themselves more money. Not good.

I’ve worked at production houses where
Producers made bonus on percentage of profit over standard 20%. So those types of plans exist. I agree that it can lead to decisions maybe being made not in best interest of the job. I didn’t see that happen but the danger is there.

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?

My joining in both are in around May last week. Tomorrow my IBM pre onboarding HR will connect with me. Should I ask for a counter offer tomorrow itself?
Or should I ask 2 weeks before joining?
Many told me that companies revise CTC when the joining date is near, else they show less interest. So should I go for it now itself?
