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.
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.
