I'm a very senior level producer with 15+ years of experience. I have been freelance since 2008. I'm looking to move into Business Affairs. It's an area of production that has always interested me. Are they any former producers who have made the switch?

I transitioned from production to BA though much earlier in my career (where restarting at associate level didn’t hurt me as much).

Familiarize yourself with SAG first and foremost. As long as BA feels intuitive to you and you have a genuine curiosity for it, it will come natural and remember that everything can be learned.

Yes it happens. The Head of BA at Decoded is an ex producer. Perhaps reach out to Liz to talk to her about her journey.

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”.
