Is editing really as niche position as the amount of serious job postings I’m seeing suggests?

I don’t know exactly what you’re referring to but commercial editing is insanely niche. Like if you don’t have beauty on your reel you’ll never get hired to cut beauty. Etc for all categories. It seems worse lately too.

Ah gotcha. I think a lot of them are through referral / recruiters and not posted.

Define "serious" job posting? Most job postings seem to want Cinematic quality editing with "retention" editing skills (🤦🏻‍♂️), from 720p footage for less than minimum wage within 24 hrs for "cash cow" channel!

It should be a niche position, but apparently editing on your phone passes for professional editing these days!

Yes, this is what I mean

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?
