Nid Noy's Journey Into the Death Star
Hi All,
I just got back from Boston, MA and got interviewed by the big "A's" main competitor in the digital video realm.
They're offering some good dough.
Pluses: Starting over, good dough, lots of travel, major career boost, meeting lotsa contacts in major production houses, will travel Asia. Can make a major difference at this company. 97% of all Hollywood film and TV post uses this tool. Can pile up massive air miles and hotel points. Make TONS of important contacts. Can take a 2-3 year contract. Steady gig with 6 figures. 3 weeks paid vacation.
Minuses: Not a very creative job, relocation to the east coast (west coast Cali native) with brutal winters and sticky summers. Giving up west coast friends and family. I may lose credibility with contacts. It's akin to Luke Skywalker joining forces with Darth Vader. ;-) 75-90% on the road travel - exhausting!
May say yes or no to this opportunity. The alternative is to stay in the Apple realm and move to LA specializing in HDTV post-production.
Your input: should I go to LA and go for the gold right now or should I go for the East Coast rock star travel king job with the dark side?
Looking to hear your ideas and responses.
