help, I work for my friend
I'm the tour manager for my friend, a comedian
we travel everywhere together, I love them to death and I'm genuinely happy and honored to be on their team and lend my experience and skillset to their very deserved success. I've dreamed of doing this exact work
what I didn't see coming: challenges with negotiating pay and making sure that I can actually sustain myself financially while literally doing my dream job. took a huge pay cut to invest in their because they've got an incredible trajectory ahead
any advice? I communicate with business manager for financial conversations but ultimately comedian is the ultimate decision maker/business owner. I work for them directly not her management/agents.
just curious if other industry folks have seen or had this experience. I need HR 😅 happy to receive any feedback, advice, alternate subreddits to share this, etc
