Are you doing a sanity check on a budget submitted by a production house, or are you at a production house?

Honestly depends on tier of project. National campaigning w several shoot day in an exotic location billed differently than a one day chroma studio shoot or talking head type situation. $1000 is typical for mid size project. But: Line producers can mark up line items their responsible for by anywhere from 5-40%. That's where their real money comes from. 🤫

Hi all, was hoping for clarity on offers from FANG/Tier 2 tech I received recently. Base pay is still within range of 130-150K, but equity components have dropped dramatically. For reference, for similar positions, I was receiving grants of 150K - 200K over 4 years for data analyst positions (4-5 YOE) in Aug’21-Feb’22. For personal reasons, I did not accept these offers. Now the equity grants are coming in like 50-70K over 4 years. Is this market wide for non SWE/PM roles due to stock market?
