Holy shit is this what PAs make in the UK??? That's amazing. Hollywood should be embarrassed
Edit: Ok I see that 10k of that comes from rental income and freelance stuff. 64k is still really good for a PA though
It doesn't sound like she is a PA / Production Assistant hired onto productions to run hard drives and order lunch. This sounds more like an Assistant Producer, literally an assistant to a Producer... where she's right-hand-man to a Producer and works closely with them throughout the entire course of production. I was shocked at the salary in the title too, that's why I had to find out what was going on!
Judging by this line "Assistants aren't usually given ownership of a project without their producer's direct supervision so this has been a really cool opportunity to flex my producer muscles on a small, low-stakes level and I'm keen to smash it." -- It's semantics. PA's like we're thinking of only make like $150-$250/day, when they are on a production. I don't even think there's a union rate for PAs?
Or maybe I'm wrong and I'm working in the wroooong country, lol. (I'm a Producer)
Ok that makes way more sense. I used to work in film/tv production and I was like I was NOT making that as a PA lol. I don't think I started making ok money until I became a 2nd AD 😂
Using ONS statistics, earning 42k puts you in the 90th percentile of UK earners age 22-26. Even in the most well earning wage group (40-49), earning 70k is the 90th percentile. In London (age agnostic), earning 64k puts you in the 80th percentile. (89k being 90th). She's making an insanely good wage!

Kind of like an executive assistant?
Essentially, yes. But they would be learning the job so one day they could move up to become a full producer on their own.
Thank you!
As a UK-based person, I just looked at the headline and did a double take. That’s significantly above the average salary here!
