Is it okay that my ACD occasionally clubs me with our in-house video editor or assigns me tasks (small ones, but tasks nonetheless) related to video-editing? I don't remember seeing 'video editing' in my job description and I feel like asking for a raise or something but I'm not sure what the right way to deal with this is. Any words of advice?

If you’re being asked to perform tasks regularly outside your job scope, it’s fair to discuss how this impacts your workload and whether it justifies a raise or a change in your job title. However, I have to say it is odd that you're being asked to do these things. Have a conversation with your ACD to understand why you're being assigned these tasks. You know never know, it could be an opportunity for you to be seen as versatile or reliable, which could eventually be beneficial for your career growth in the company.

Frequently enough that it becomes a consistent part of your workload.

Unless your in-house video editor is particularly diminutive, I wouldn’t want to get on your ACD’s bad side. Sounds like a strong dude

You're right but it gets hard when it eats up at my personal time. I'm sacrificing my time at home working on these things and I don't think that's ok

When you say ‘related to video editing’ do you mean writing supers or helping to create or edit storyboards? Because those things would fall within a copy person’s job description,

No not writing supers. I'm talking about actually editing the videos.

Some variables to consider here. How’s business at your place? If you’re at a place that might be letting people go (sounds fairly common these days), you might consider video editing an added value that keeps you employed. If your company is doing well, I’d bring it up at an opportune time and definitely nudge for more money. I’d point out that you’re saving the company thousands of dollars every time they can keep something in house.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
