I got offered the opportunity to work for a show runner the other day.
Was it the right decision?
My friend asked me to call him. He said, “This position is about to open up. I can tee it up for you, but you have to tell me ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in four hours. You’re the first person I’m going to, but if you pass I need to get someone else in the room.”
It’s a gun-to-the-head situation, but fair play.
I thought it over, as I tried focusing on check letters and connecting calls and the minutia of the day’s tasks.
I passed.
