I worked there as a freelancer for awhile and found it to be sort of joyless and secretive. As much as you want it to be a fun, nimble company, it’s still a huge corporation. A friend of mine that’s full time enjoys it but also said you have c-suite people weighing in on stuff five levels beneath them. He makes great money, but the cost of living in the Cupertino area is decently high. The name seems to crush it on resumes.

Big pay, you’ll complete one initiative or project per year. So idk if that’s good or bad for you. For me it would be bad.

It depends where you work. It is a big company and while some people love it, some also hate it. I loved it, but I found that when I left it was hard to find that love of detail at other companies in-house. I also found that after Apple, I got a lot of jealously from other designers, as well as unrealistic expectations from leaders who thought one person could do what a team of hundreds do at Apple everyday.

Welp! Finally got the axe today too. I didn’t even get to talk to my manager. One of the execs I support told me he’s very sorry and I was great, etc etc, but it couldn’t be avoided. Whatever. I kind of never want to work again. I’m heartbroken.

I’m going to be going luxury handbag and shoe shopping in Paris and looking to spend around $10K total. What are some classic things you recommend I consider? I am looking at YSL, Dior lady bag, Ferragamo loafers, etc. I want classic items that will never go out of style and are worth the cost

How does one tell their boss (owner of the company) that you are burnt out? The sheer volume of work is exhausting and I haven’t taken a true vacation as we are a small company so if something urgent comes to my email I feel like I must respond. I was given an additional title and more responsibilities last year as well but only a 3% raise for it.

Seems that Fearless girl was made by unfair men.
