I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

    Fair salary if under 2 years experience. If you’re over 2 years of experience, you are substantially underpaid even as a gov IT worker.

      5 years IT overall, mostly mid/upper level support.

      Even if I have nearing two years of VM, its not particularly useful experience as my coworkers automated the fuck out of everything before i even knew wtf was going on, and don’t like sharing workload. I regret volunteering to join this team, and my old position no longer exists to go back to 🫤

      I’m mostly still here due to apathy and health insurance.

        If you’ve been there 2 years or more, I’d recommend refreshing your Linkedin profile, checking Zip-Recruiter and probably checking out Indeed. You could probably get $30k to jump ship (assuming that you have relevant certifications).
