Compensation
Average Salary: $134,560 or $64 per hour.
Benefits: I could not find information about medical, dental, vision, 401k, or profit sharing on the listing or the website. Going off of this being a higher position at the company I would assume these are there just not on the listing. I would definitely ask about it during an interview.
Cost of Living: IGN Headquarters is in San Francisco, this city is a 269.3 on the cost of living scale. To live in San Francisco you would need to earn at least $109,152 in annual income to live comfortably. The median income in Bowling Green OH is $19,270 per year for renters. It is a 84.1 on the COL scale. It is significantly more expensive to live in San Francisco than it is to live in Bowling Green. The salary of the job is enough to cover annual costs while also leaving room for savings and other expenses.

Life-Long Learner
I plan of attending video seminars and conferences to further my knowledge of video production and post-production. I also follow many individuals who post tips and tricks for editing and filming. As a hobby I edit videos of gameplay and also am planning to start filming short-films to further hone my skills.
Trends in the industry: There is a large amount of resources being put into Virtual Reality by Google and Samsung currently. There is also a new form of video called Cinemagraphs which are a combination of video and photo. Aerial and Drone cinematography is also on the rise. With 4k video becoming more of a household item there is a push to create videos that utilize this technology. GoPros are also on the rise again.

5-10 year career plan: I definitely think it would be helpful to pursue a degree or further skills in After Effects and VFX production. These are skills that I have seen increasingly being asked for.

You @ Work
Work Ethic: I would describe myself as a reliable and responsible worker. When assigned a task I do my best to complete it in a timely and well done manner. I also take responsibility when I make a mistake and work to ensure it does not happen again. I also help out my coworkers when they need help and work to pick up slack when needed.
Job Values: I value fair treatment, helpful assistance, and good spirits in a job position. When working a job the ones I work the best in are ones where people are treated equally. I also look for positions where the sum of the whole is greater than the individual, where when someone needs help or asks a question they are able to get assistance.
Personality type: Architect (INTJ). I believe the type of work I would like to do fits my personality type well. One of the field I want to work in is post-production. The Architect personality type has a knack for detail and often when I am editing I spent more time then I think I need to going over the fine details to make sure what I am creating is the best it can be.
Honesty, Integrity, Code of Ethics: These play a large part in my type of work. In video production nothing gets done without your team, or at least it's very hard to get the job done. You need to be able to work well and rely on your crew in all stages of production. If you can't do this, the production is sure to have hardships or fail.
Long Term Goals
Once I have a stable income I plan to actively put money into a savings account. I also plan on opening a Roth IRA and put a good amount of money into it monthly. This way I will have two sources of saved income I will be able to grow and pull from later in life.
Long term financial goals: I would like to learn to invest, this is something I do not know a lot about but would be nice to start. I also would like to return to school in the future and get a degree in robotics or prosthetics as those are two fields that I find very interesting.
Salary range of management positions in my industry: Video production managers in the US earn between $55,000 to $85,000 a year, with a median of $57,140.
