Just came across this old thread I had posted a while back and wanted to update as I feel it is relevant.
I decided to take my chances as a freelancer in early 2010 as I wasn't entirely sure of the vein of audio post I wanted to explore. I had spent years in a top commercial audio post house where I began as an assistant then a junior" mixer", but I had long format aspirations as well as the desire to explore more creative sound design opportunities. My freelance work brought me to the next level very quickly and my IMDB credits rose as well. My sound design work played in the superbowl, and I was brought to the attention of a large commercial music house where I am now a staff sound designer with a great room, and I get to work on projects from commercials to film. Point being that like anything else in life careers are what you make of them, and being in the right location at the right time, a strong dedication to create the best possible end product, and a love of your craft can take you as far as you'd like to go.
