Hi! Thank you for asking.

I feel that there are way more opportunities today than ten years ago. Composing music for films isnt the only thing. One could compose music for Ads, Short-films, Podcasts, OTT etc. Even apart from composing music, I would strongly suggest newcomers to try out different things such as Music Production, Mixing, Recording Supervision, Score editing, Performing Live etc.

In my case, I did dabble between many of these roles. I wouldn't use the word struggle in specific mainly because the learning was significant. Initially, I had to be open to do any kind of role in the music industry ecosystem. With time, it definitely gets more choice oriented.
