When I have worked on more indie films, I had to one the one to pay for all the props with my own money and they would reimburse me afterwards- sometimes the total amount doesn’t add up and I seem to be losing money! How do you approach this situation?

How does the reimbursement work? Make sure to keep all the receipts and maintain clear communication throughout the whole thing. Work with them on why it’s not adding up. Not ok for them to expect you to pay out of your pocket and then not even fully reimburse you.

Exactly- that’s the main struggle is keeping the communication flowing!

I guess we're talking really really DIY films? I haven't ever encountered this because Ive always been on sets that have some kind of budget. I would keep all receipts and make official invoices so there's no confusion

Yes I need to keep them to avoid any confusion!

Hi Fishes, Pls help,
YOE: 13 yrs
Cctv: 13 lpa

Have cleared HCL interview. Initially they offered 23 lpa (via proposed offer letter, to be approved by L4), but i requested to reconsider it for 25 lpa. After 5 days, they sent final offer letter of 19 lpa (stating they can offer max 50% as per L4 approval).

I don't have any other offer as of now. What should I do?

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate.

I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials.

I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
