It really depends on where you want to come in to a facility. And even what you define as a post house. Is it a boutique editorial company like Cut + Run or a studio like the Mill? Do you expect to move laterally as an editor? Where are you at in your career, can you bring your own clients? How’s your reel?

Directly contact the EP and ask to meet/ have a call. In my experience a lot of them will take you up on this even if they aren’t really looking to hire at the moment and regardless it’s great to make those contacts. Be prepared to discuss what you specifically like about the work they are doing and what clients you might be able to bring with you.

First thing they’re gonna ask is how much $ in billing are you gonna bring their company.

I’m married, and one of my coworkers flirts with me. Nothing super overt, but definitely not professional. We’re good friends and work together constantly because we’re on the same client, so I don’t want to make it awkward. Do I just do nothing and let it go? It is mostly just odd I’m not super offended, but I’m also clearly uninterested!

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions!

For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!
