You need to make money. It's not successful until it's profitable because until then it's charity.

@m&a1 Russ Hanneman would destroy you for saying that

I think the question was what makes one successful so you should expect all of us to have different views. I think they've had success in cashing out themselves / getting a return for early investors but the company itself is a piece of shit and not successful. People buy in because they like to burn their money. They lose more and more money every year.. lol I don't see a trajectory like Amazon had but maybe they'll shut me up.

Anyone here working at Dreamworks Animation, @disney studios, @cartoon network Dreamworks Animation or Nickelodeon

My 19yo daughter is attending a State school for animation and she’s worried that it’s not a top school for job placement. Her professor pointed out that she’s “too talented” for the school she’s at now. She’s thinking to transfer to a top school in California or FL

I’m looking for creatives working in animation field or related who can provide some mentorship to my daughter.

Hi TCSERS Tata Consultancy
Are you guys asked to work for 3days a week ? If so, are you strictly following it ? Mine starts from next week but I am planning to go twice per week( office is 120km from my home and will be travelling by train). Can't immediate shift as my kid is studying at a school in my hometown. Will there be any problem if I work for 2 days from office and rest 3days from home ? Will there be any strict actions taken?
Looking for some genuine reply.
