Because people think it’s so easy, anyone can be a producer.

IMO you need a creative degree or background to be an effective Producer.

Sink or swim at a lot of places. I do count myself lucky I had a network I could lean hard on when I started.

It's just an accounting thing. If they already have a producer that could train one, why would they hire another one?

Personally I think skill sets need to be evaluated for this for those with an interest. Attention to to detail, math,film/video basics...common sense and working well with others. 🤔with a willingness to learn basics and asks questions. So over it!

Cheap labor. People want to be a producer so badly they’ll work at a lower rate and feel like the abuse is good experience - and it’s cheaper to move someone over than to hire them

What kinds of models can I create for low frequency businesses?

I recently switched to a startup at a data analyst role and have been teaching myself about statistics…I found survival analysis models and wanted to try and implement one to determine our customer retention rate and eventually a LTV

The business I’m in is very low frequency (most customers use our product once a year, but we do have many users) and I’m worried this will lead to poor results. What other models do…

Looking to transfer into a client associate role (unregistered at the moment, but willing to obtain). Currently have ~1.5 YOE in valuation (financial statement analysis, modeling, etc.) I get that those skills could be unrelated to a CSA role, but I think there could be some similarities. Does anyone happen to have a referral or can anyone give DM me some insight into what a CSA role would look like? I appreciate it.
