I'm interested in moving from Advertising BA to working in a BA capacity for a record label. Does anyone have experiences with this transition or the latter industry?

Record labels don’t pay very well - I’ve brought people over from there a few times and they’ve always received huge pay increases for several steps down in title. I have a friend currently at a label and they are a director of a BA adjacent department (royalties) getting paid less than my senior managers.

Do you mind me asking your level of experience? I considered this too and after interviewing with a label, ultimately decided I’d be seriously limiting my continued learning opportunities for BA as a whole. This may not be a concern to you but something I didn’t consider til I learned more about the role at a label. Lots of the same thing over and over Vs in advertising when you can work on music deals, celebs, influencers, contests, foreign shoots, sag, Etc etc you get the idea.

Oh yeah and pay sucks haha

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago.

I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
