How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
People who thrive in this industry obviously have the technical part down. An attention to detail is really important, as we are dealing with numbers and dollars.
But also, having a human touch is key. It's not all about the numbers or the deadlines. It's realizing that everyone involved has their own story and things going on.
Being aware of that and caring about it makes the whole process go easier. If you come in demanding things, it just makes life harder. If you act like you care about humans, everything's easier.
