It’s a very busy town right now. Tons of production from a lot of sources. Agencies, big and small, and tech companies, who are all doing in house production in addition to whatever agency relationships they have. Here’s the thing: there are a TON of freelance producers, but we’re mostly senior and EP level. You might do VERY well picking up freelance gigs for that underpopulated associate producer area. It’s always hard to get in, in any city, but San Francisco’s top heaviness will work in your favor. Let people you know who are freelance that you’re heading this way and they can make an intro. This is a very supportive production community. Good luck.

As I like the company so much.But considering my current knowledge,I am in the middle of the sea.I am afraid now that the new company's offer would be revoked due to this recession?Or can I take back my resignation in citi before the last working day.Is this wise decision?

Hey fishes, curious which San Diego companies you think give the best work-life balance. Can be public, private, start-up, etc. BONUS: If you work for one, do you like it there?

Cisco

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
