Oh to be rejected from full time positions because they want “creators” and all you have is a reel of actual editing.

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does. I see a lot of open roles - managers, senior strategists etc. I have a top 20 MBA and about 8 years of big 4 experience in consulting - would this be the right kind of role to get into? Or is it more engineering?

I’m in Creative marketing and looking to add some tech skills to my belt. However I don’t know where to start. AI looks interesting and I’ve seen a few people use AI to create art but is there a need for this skill in the company or any other FAANG company?

Is anyone else having the worst time switching jobs? I’ve been applying for a year and haven’t gotten any job offers even though I get interviews. If anyone knows of a headhunter I could reach out to though I’d be so appreciative! I’m so frustrated….

My mood has been fluctuating so much lately. Some days (yesterday) I wake up feeling invincible and some days (today) want to hide myself the rest of the world and feel like nothing will ever get better. I’m trying to push myself to make plans with other ppl and am really self-conscious about it cuz I don’t want ppl to see me in low spirit.. any ideas on how to fix that?

Any Navy Nukes in this bowl?

Does Nagarro give option to WFO?
At Bangalore location where is their office

Is this bowl still alive? How’s everyone doing in quarantine? I feel the additional stress from covid is lowered by the relief of having fewer social obligations

I have a problem. Idk how to even begin fixing this...
I'm staying up almost every night watching shiz on my phone until 2am, wake up at 7 for meetings completely groggy. Can't stop myself.
Can't get myself to workout or even eat healthy. Unable to focus at work. Not sure how do I break this cycle. I tried putting my phone away - it doesn't work. I have insomnia + I'm a light sleeper so it's very easy for me to get up and grab my phone. Idk how to stop eating sugar & junk.

Anyone want to give me retroactive FOMO by sharing stories from their summer associate programs? Mine is entirely virtual, and needless to say we are less than enthused by what we’re missing out on

I wanna see the Foo Fighters but I’m lame and don’t have anyone to go with 😭😭😭 I’m about to say screw it and go by myself.

Kindly recommend some self help books!

Anybody have a mba consultant/consulting company they would highly recommend?

Hi fishes,
Has coforge fired any employees in 2022?

Why do so few producers take interest in learning technical information?

Fellow editors, I’m leaving somewhere where I’ve been in-house for 5 years, and was in-house 2 other place before that. I’m realizing that while I’m excellent at my craft, I’m not an excellent freelancer. Any advice for someone striking out on their own (and not in LA/NY)?

How much does a post house typically charge an advertising client for editing in NYC? Whether that’s hourly, daily, etc.

Hi friends, any agency editors gone from editing in house to art or creative directing? If so, how? I love editing, but I see myself in a more conceptual role down the road. Thanks for any insights y’all can provide ❤️

Are y’all raising rates to account for inflation? Am I stupid if I haven’t yet?

What’s the highest day rate you’ve heard of an editor charging? I just found out what somebody is charging and it made my jaw drop.

Are ad agencies typically signatories of Local 700 Agreements?

Thinking about making the jump from senior level in-house to freelance. 12+ years experience. Shoot, edit, color, after effects, mix, etc. What kind of day rate could I expect in Mpls or Chi?

Curious what comp package and terms it’d take for successful 5+ YOE freelancers to consider staff? Please also leave your YOE w response.

Beginner video editing advice wanted - I’m working on a personal side gig project. As part of that, I’m recording short interviews with people currently using a camera and/or iPhone .. (cont)

How’s everyone doing out there? Busy? Slow? Remote? In person? Lower rates?

Opinions on if it’s a bad thing to stay at one place for awhile? I’m enjoying the work and steady pay but I worry about getting totally out of the loop at other places. Before this I moved around alot

Does anyone know a good website where I can search for movie clips based on categories “man mowing lawn” etc.

I’m new to freelancing, at a senior level and in NYC. Can anyone give me a range of what day rate would be appropriate to charge? Thank you!!

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?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?

What platforms do folks use for vault / element management these days? I need to build a new library. Is it still klugey FileMaker databases?

Roll call. How much experience? Do you staff in a boutique? An agency? Freelance? If freelance, do you usually work in agency studios, prodcos...? Do you bring on a post producer to help on big jobs?

Yet again I’m watching a client fuck up a nice spot so bad I can’t put it in my reel. Absolutely disheartening.

Are post-houses ramping back to in-person? I’m freelance and so far have had a couple in-person sessions but everything else has still been remote. I’m in NYC.

Website question: is it bad to have a few spots that are over five years old? I keep them down at the bottom and the majority are much newer so they sort of serve as a ‘best of’ my older work.
