  • So there’s a formal/professional approach and there’s an informal approach.

    Formally, there are fields like Risk Management aka Risk Analysis; in these fields there are various frameworks and approaches for things like threat models and risk assessments. This is more than most of us need.

    Informally “this is what I want to protect myself against” is indeed a good way of thinking about it. You can write something up for yourself, or you can just think it through. If the threat model helps you use your time / resources wisely, then it’s a good threat model.













  • From the title “Junior Video Editor” and your description of the salary you proposed it sounds like this is an entry-level job that’ll probably go to someone fresh out of school.

    It’s hard to read too much into it because this might just be a form letter, but it sounds like they genuinely thought you were a good candidate but they were looking for a more junior position. Sometimes this is dictated by their budget available.

    Even if this is a form letter, they probably have a letter for the case where the salary was OK but they never want to hear from the candidate again. So you didn’t get that letter, at least!

    It looks like this was a “near miss”. It’s discouraging, but keep at it, you can do it.
