where do i go from here?



I got called for 2 different PA jobs yesterday. One was a reality show and I'd be working for a friend. The other was a scripted show with a great supervisor from "Ugly Betty" that I met on while I was working on "Six Degrees". They were both well paying and long term, but I turned them down because I'm pretty excited about a job offer I have at Direct TV to be their new station coordinator. So I don't want to leave the job I'm at now just to leave another job, even though I could make a little more money on the way there. I appreciate that the people I work with now got me this job. It would be one thing to leave to move up, but I'd feel bad to leave to be a PA on another show. The other shows are both in post-production, which is where I thought I'd be going a month ago. So, if I didn't get the job at Direct TV, I'd be a fool not to go in that direction. Anyway, that's the news.

Update: Just got a call from Six Degrees! They are editing in LA after all! Their new AP is from LOST. I can work on it if I want to. I don't know if I can go on as a coordinator or if the PA position would be my only choice. I truely LOVED my job at Six Degrees. Why, oh why, is it that when it rains, it pours?!

Decisions, decisions, decisions! I've been a little stressed about those darn things. Working at Direct TV is really close to what I want to do. It's just not scripted and I think it's a channel that only Direct TV employees will get, so it's not as glamourous. But it's a huge step up from being a PA and Direct TV has a great reputation for being good to their employees. It would be easier if all these calls came in a couple weeks later when I knew that I did or didn't have the Direct TV job.
