Client wants 4k raw files sent via wetransfer for a $100 job?
Need a quick reality check from you guys. A brand reached out for a 15 second talking head video. The rate is $100 which is already a bit low for me but I had a slow week so I said yes.
Now they are sending over the brief and they are demanding that I shoot in 4K ProRes and send them the uncompressed raw files via WeTransfer before they process my invoice. The file sizes are going to be absolutely massive and my phone doesn't even have the storage for that right now. Plus $100 for raw uncompressed files feels like a total ripoff since they are definitely going to chop it up into 10 different ads.
Should I tell them 1080p is the standard for social or just walk away from this one?

I make $500/mo flipping vintage jackets and shoes
I'm from Nairobi, where we receive second-hand clothes almost daily from Europe, the US, and Canada.
My side hustle is waking up at 4 AM, going to the market in pitch-black darkness, bargaining with wholesalers, and sourcing the best pieces. The whole run takes about 3 hours and then I'm out.
I specifically hunt for vintage 90s streetwear and shoes. Once I'm back, I clean, steam, and photograph the gear, then sell it directly to local boutique shops in town, university students, and Instagram thrift vendors who don't want to wake up at 4 AM themselves.
I buy each piece for about $1 to $3 and flip them for $8 to $20 depending on condition. This brings in roughly $350 to $500 a month for about 6 to 8 hours of work a week across two morning runs. Since almost everything I source is a unique "1 of 1" item, it sells pretty fast.

Transitioning from Enterprise FinTech IT / Banking Systems into FinTech/FIG IB
I work as a Senior Systems Analyst with three years of experience building software for core banking, payment gateways, and money transfers, though I don't have a finance degree. Most of what I know about finance comes from studying on my own, while my day job is focused on managing databases, connecting systems, and building custom web apps to track data.
My biggest challenge comes right after the first phone interview. On a recent call with a FinTech group Vice President, I pointed out how my tech background gives me a solid, hands-on understanding of how software products actually work under the hood. He liked that, but immediately worried about my speed and style: could I build a complex financial model under a two-hour deadline, and could I talk to clients without sounding like an IT guy fixing a computer glitch?
I want to know how people switching from tech can explain their work experience so it sounds useful for deal-making instead of just back-office support. For modeling tests, do teams expect advanced buyout models right away, or is being fast and accurate with basic financial statements enough? Lastly, does knowing the software industry inside out actually help at tech-focused investment firms, or is it better to apply everywhere at smaller, general firms first?
