Yeah probably. Senior down to Associate is 1-2 levels.

Ask yourself why you want to get into production?What is your passion? If your answer is production, think longer term and if you have to take a pay cut now, it’s ok; get into what you really like.
On the other hand, if you just want to validate whether you like production or not, try it out and don’t think about money for the next couple of years. This is the age to try!

Probably, but it will be worth it.

I think you check the AP salaries on payscale and glassdoor to get a better understanding of this.

Yes you will. The salary for that job is lower than what you are doing now. I think you will enjoy it though.

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both.

I need some advice. I got a new job back in may of this year. Very excited for a new opportunity to learn some new things and get a higher paycheck.

I also work fully remote. I am feeling very unfulfilled and not sure what I should do next. I am very self motivated and want to make great work but not sure what to do.
