If i haven’t signed anything with my firm regarding repaying them for receiving my series 7 license with them I’m assuming i owe nothing if i leave? Is there a way to find out without my manager knowing I’m looking at other firms?

Any good books or articles worth reading on product marketing and analytics? I come from more of a technical and general product management background, so I personally feel like I lack on the marketing side. Like Search engine optimization, etc. Thank you.

I had no income in India and was in US the entire year. Do I need to file IT return with 0 income?

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?

Pitch videos. It has now become standard to be handed a vo script with no thought as to what’s on screen. When did the editor's job become thinking up the images as well?

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

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?

Can anyone explain how it works getting paid at a post production facility with editors on roster ? (trim / final cut / Whitehouse post) what's the range of salary typically ?

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)?

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.

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

Anyone still using avid on commercials? In NY it seems to be 100% premiere now

How do editors out there feel about partnerships? Seems like a great goal if the house is a long term fit. Do the new responsibilities and ability to make a difference outweigh financial risk?

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

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

EDITORS.. do you find that you work weekends on EVERY SINGLE JOB when your cutting for the first screening? No matter what the job is like, no matter how complicated or not, no matter the ship date, I find that I have to work weekends to accommodate the first screening.

Anyone have a magic number that would make you give up freelancing and take a staff job? (New York)

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!!

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

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 ❤️

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

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.
