In your opinion, what differentiates an Assistant Producer vs an Associate Producer? (Besides the title of course)

It could be other deliverables than a broadcast spot.... But sure.

I mean I went straight from being an intern to being an associate producer, so you are very likely overdue. You should apply here, we are hiring.

Assistants typically support. Associates own their own work streams, manage budgets with oversight, and are client-facing.

If that's the case then I'm overdue for a promotion. Anybody hiring? I feel like I've been lead on by my company for months now.

Juniors don’t get overtime. And they basically do the same work as an associate. At least from my understanding.

It’s true, but after awhile it starts to feel like I’m being taken advantage of because pay isn’t equal to the caliber of work and responsibility. What else does it take to move to the next level?

Once you have a few successful jobs that you self-produced, have a chat with your supervisor and make a case for yourself to get that title change.

Associates don’t get OT. Juniors and assistants do.

Can you single handedly produce a broadcast television spot (not pre-roll)? If yes then you are a producer.

@producer1 we don't do it single handedly though. For broadcast we are working with BA hand and hand at least through award. Yes you are correct about the sentiment though.

Just keep a record of jobs you had the lead on that were successful. When review time comes (assuming your FT) make the case to your supervisor and have the back up handy. Also, if you're successful, I'm sure other peers or coworkers would speak to that in a 360 review of you. Unfortunately, I feel like that position has a lot of grind work and feels slow moving. You'll get there!

This varies place to place. In my experience the titles can mean the same thing.
