Post houses likely won’t hire you unless you can bring clients. You’re better off starting as an assistant or freelancing and building that client roster and reel.

How is it going so far, OP? Freelancing will surely help you with that. But if you're not into freelancing, you can reach out to agencies and other recruiters.

And some agencies aren’t raising their pay as fast as others. But another big factor is employers are trying to find candidates that check every box. So if a candidate has 19 out of 20 required skills or experiences, they aren’t being given offers. Even if that one piece can be easily taught …
