ET certainly doesn't compare, genderwise, with my working life in Finnish media. The majority of ad agency account execs I work for (and with) are women, my voiceover agent is a woman, the art directors I like to work with regularly are about 60/40 female to male. And the representatives of end clients (corporate communications people) that I meet are mostly female (although this may be a result of gender affinity between account execs and clients). BTW I am rarely involved in marketing consumer products and services.

Only in film production and the art world do I find myself talking fairly exclusively to men. Interestingly, stills photographers are about 50/50.

All of this seems fairly unremarkable to a Finn. And AFAIK there are no salary differentials. The same skills are paid the same.

You can't be me, I'm taken
