Anyone have experience with interviewing for a designer role at Apple? What are the main things they look for?

Nearing the end of the interview process for a mid level Product Designer role but experience wise I’d be considered more junior. What do I ask for in terms salary? (Sorry if it’s a stupid question)

I’ve gone through whiteboarding and a design challenge so skill wise I think I’ve proven to them I am capable.

They gave me a range for the role so would I just go with that? It’s higher than average in the market and one I’d be happy with but I feel weird since I’m not actually mid level.

My company is looking for a graphic designer. Position will be in Connecticut but possible to work remotely. This is not publicly listed yet.

So uh anyone want to hire a Junior Designer for a remote position? Maybe that person could be me? Just got the return to office news.. kinda desperate.

I currently have 3 years experience and am being poached for a Senior Designer role. If I pursue this will it make it harder for my to get an Art Director role later on? Any advice would be great!

How do you interpret “Years of experience“ in salary surveys and reports?
Here’s an example. Does a Creative Director with 7+ yrs of experience have 7+ yrs in the role of a Creative Director? Or does that 7 yrs include their work as a Senior Designer?

Anybody know anything about doing UX design with MediaMath? My friend said they extended her an offer for a UX designer but that all communication has been done through email. and the position is hourly at first and some benefits dont seem to come in until after 3 months?

Is that a red flag? Any advice out there on how to proceed?

Underpaid? I’m currently working as a brand designer in-house but am more of an art director / senior designer role doing majority of the conceptualizing, photoshoot direction and content planning / creation for all emails, product launches and web design. 65k. Are there similar design salaries out there? What should i request when i’m promoted to Senior BD? Should i look somewhere else?

I have an offer from One great company that I need to reply to by end of the week and Google had reached out to me after two months of radio silence wanting to move me forward to the last interview round. The offer I got was for a product design position while google wants to potentially hire me as a visual designer… what do I do??? I’m so stressed. I don’t know if I should just accept the offer and then jump ship if Google decides to hire me.

My client is looking for a UX Lead/Designer with 5+ years experience. Great team. Fully remote position. Working for a startup on an early education game. Please DM for more info.

Most of junior UX designer role asked for 2-3yoe. So, I volunteered at a startup to at least show that I’m working on something.. the entire process has been quite slow due to the stakeholder has been so busy fundraising and ceo said they are hiring developer (for the past 2months...). And just yesterday they announced the company is going on hold. I’m lost how I should present it on my resume / what to do with mid-fi fidelity prototypes that hasn’t been user tested.. Any suggestions?

Anyone Hiring a Sr. Graphic Designer or Digital Designer. Ready to locate anywhere. Thanks.

As a UX/UI designer with a non design background (just a minor in interaction design), i find it rough to get more efficient at software. Figma, sketch, adobe CC… idk if i just need more practice since it doesnt come naturally or if im in the wrong field. I fear that at my next entry level position I’ll be fired just because it takes me forever to get digital work done

I'm was promoted recently to client manager at a consulting engineering firm. My background is 16 YOE working as a Senior Plumbing Designer. I didn't get a compensation increase when promoted; however, after 7 months of great work in my new role I would like to negotiate a compensation adjustment.  My expectations are 120 - 130k a year base salary with 20% bonus. Does this sound reasonable for the MEP consulting engineering industry or should I try to negotiate a different figure?

I have an interview tomorrow (maybe the final one?) with 3 people I’d be working with — other writers and a designer. It’s for an in-house role. Any thoughts on questions I should ask?

I was offered $108k for a designer role at chiat\day LA. Is that good? Should I have asked for more given today’s market? I’m looking for reasons to give up my freelancing lifestyle and was hoping for a title bump, which I didn’t get. I’m super unfamiliar w the advertising market and used to be a product designer. Took a pay cut to do more creative work, but if I can get back the salary I had, I would.

Spouse makes $130k base as a lead designer of a well known brand company. Another competitor reached out to the spouse for an open role equivalent to one level higher, and base starts at $250k. Spouse won’t even talk to the recruiter because the current brand has very good image while the competitor is more mainstream and flashier (think Supreme).

I made it to the final round for a sr. UX Designer role at a major (non faang, but close) tech company, but I only have a year of experience. If I get the job, should I take it? Would it hurt my career if it ends up being too much for my skill level?

I work at a small agency. I asked for a raise and was told you can get one in a few months if you do X,Y,Z but also keep in mind you make (on the low end of) what your position should make.

My question is—I wear many hats within my agency because we’re small and growing—So while I may be an art director, when needed I’m also a PA, or a production designer etc... SO shouldn’t my salary reflect that??
