What’s with all the “video Editors” posting there timelines on LinkedIn. Does anyone really care about that. Seems weird to me

I’ve seen some specific ones that are crazy timelines for big movies - I kind of enjoy seeing those when it’s using premiere (which is what I cut with). But yeah in general I don’t really care… I do think though that often non-post people have no clue how complicated our job is, and if it helps educate them, I’m all for that.

I like this take.

the obvious answer is that bigger timelines are better edits. in the future, give your timelines as many video tracks as possible.

This one as well, some of these “social edits have 20 plus video layers. I’m like but why ?

I think it’s a little weird, but realize it’s not for other editors of the same caliber it’s a marketing tool to show clients how much effort is involved.

Basically any self marketing comes off as awkward is my feeling

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it. Plus I don’t even have a permanent resident status so I don’t know if it makes sense saving it for retirement. On the other hand, the employer match and so on sounds good. So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?
