Working as a photography assistant in a photo studio requires a two-year contract with a deposit of 1000. Can I go now?

From a reasonable point of view, it is normal to pay the deposit and sign a two-year contract, because the studio doesn't want you to run away after learning the technology, but it is unreasonable to pay the deposit, let alone learn from the teacher. How can I pay for my job if I don't make money? Whether you go or not depends on the situation.

The first case: if it is a local entity wedding dress shop, it has a good reputation and a long existence, which may be the unique rules of the wedding dress shop and has unique reasons. For example, their assistants will be trained more than those in other places, or they hope to find assistants who really love photography and are loyal, thus excluding some people who are not sincere about working for their jobs. This situation is ok, if you really plan to develop here for a long time.

The second case: if it is a strange city and a strange storefront, you need to check the authenticity of the storefront first, and you must see the physical storefront to prevent the money from running away. For institutions like bridal shops, the storefronts are generally luxurious. There is a saying that monks can't run out of the temple. As long as the store is real, you can go, at least you won't be cheated.

PS: Pay attention to the terms when signing a contract, because sometimes some institutions will sign overlord clauses with you, which contain some unreasonable or unfavorable conditions. If you don't look carefully, once you sign it, you will be led by the nose, squeezed and hurt.
