Behind-the-Scenes Career Best Practices

Do

  • Consider career trajectory

    Think about how this role fits your long-term career goals and future opportunities.

  • Network professionally

    Build relationships within the industry for future opportunities and advancement.

  • Negotiate competitive pay

    Adult industry roles should pay competitively - don't accept below market rates.

  • Prepare for stigma

    Have a plan for how to discuss this experience if transitioning to mainstream roles.

Don't

  • Undervalue your skills

    Your professional skills are valuable - don't accept poor treatment or low pay.

  • Ignore mental health

    Roles like content moderation can be traumatic - seek support if needed.

  • Overshare with future employers

    You can describe roles professionally without explicit industry details if needed.

  • Accept poor working conditions

    Professional roles should have professional standards - benefits, reasonable hours, etc.

  • Neglect skill development

    Continue learning and building skills to stay competitive and maintain career options.
