For stage productions, New York is still the Mecca. Movies and TV are probably best in Los Angeles, but the other two major cities names are also entertainment hubs.

Depends what in entertainment you want to do… but agree with first comment!

LA

What do you want to do?

New York

Atlanta, or Vancouver. Just be sure to have a car. NY and LA feed the rest of the market in terms of above the line talent and "NAME CREATIVE". Chicago is the 7th market globally. LA 1st [Talent Agencies, DSA's, Studios, Streamers all have their Entertainment HQ's their, NYC -2nd because it's the only place with a competitive name talent pool of any size and both Investment banks and Madison Avenue are there. EVERYWHERE ELSE IS EVERYWHERE ELSE. Which means a lesser market so easier to "break into" but harder to actual get any place worth going. Great for learning, not great for getting above the line in the studio/streamer world.

Hi fishes, I need some guidance.

I am currently into the SAP Security domain and I absolutely do not have any interest in it. I am planning to shift to development and have started on some courses on my own.

My question is, is there any future prospects in SAP UI5 and Fiori? Since my background is in SAP, I assume it will make a domain switch easier.

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
