Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Not when your primary work is irregular and you basically have to live and breath the work for the many months you are attached to it. Basically every waking hour you are on the clock, which makes the hourly rate pretty low.
Isn't that every salaried position though? Last year I was on 30k USD for 7 days a week all day. Always on call.
That's pretty common in my area for people with postgraduate in STEM.
In most salary roles you would be tenured with job security, and you would be covered by an appropriate award that limits the hours you work in a week.
In film production you get a job for a few months, and during those months you stay in a hotel or sleeper trailer, don't get to see your family, and work from wake to sleep.
You would work potentially 18 hours, go back to your room to prep for the next day, then get what little sleep you can before doing it again. For months.
Then after all that you have no guarantee when your next job will be. Some industry professionals go years between jobs. It's an extremely intense workload.
Oh that's interesting.
In my region salary comes with no protections, we have no fault termination. So quite often contractors are salaried for the three months they're on then cut.
You'll find a job and you might be there for 2 weeks or 4 months, who knows. Turnover everywhere is high as companies simply pay for GPT rather than hire developers, engineers, hr etc.
