Recently been laid off and currently interviewing with a couple of PE firms. If they don’t ask about my current employment situation, should I ever bring it up (e.g. assuming I get a offer, etc)?

certainly. And it must be brought up.

No. If they ask, be as positive as possible in your response. Know what your response will be in advance.

They surely will ask, and you should be prepared to answer in as positive a way as possible.

Curious to hear how others create a SOW for a video where the concept isn’t created yet. e.g. a startup asks for a proposal/estimate for a 60-second brand video with little input and a vague budget range. We’ll create the concept and produce it. My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
