So has anyone else been seeing these job posts hiring for a producer but what they're really looking for are Editors/2D/3D Artists? Or Hiring for producers, and what they're really looking for are Shooters?

As a 20 year Industry veteran who's functioned as an Exec. Producer for the better half of my career, in 23 different markets globally... this is disheartening. Moreover, the notion of corporate america seeking talent/candidates offering barely six figures is disheartening.

Most people don't know enough about the creative world and leave it to someone else to post a job description. Companies shouldn't post generic buzzword job descriptions, either.

I see it a lot in marketing roles. The company wants the following skills in the candidate:
Graphic designer
Videographer, photographer, and producer
Content writer
Content developer
Ads buyer
Ads creator
SEO editor (read: writer)
Marketing analyst
Website admin
Social media specialist
Email marketer
Email analyst
Event/Tradeshow support
Data analyst

And if you're working with the company's CRM system (whatever it is), you're expected to manage that, editing/correcting data, etc.

Oh, and you're offered $50k to start.

Those roles are individual positions. Some skills can transfer across, but most of those involve different core competencies. And from my experience, creatives in photo/video/graphics are not the best spellers or writers. And the best writers and spellers don't make the best data analysts. It's one thing to sit at a desk cutting a video for 8hrs straight, and quite another to spend 8hrs editing a data-rich Excel file.

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years.
