Depends on if you want to give your colleague a deal or not. I start by calculating my hourly pay at my day job and then adding about 50% usually, sometimes more sometimes less.

When it comes to raises and inflation, have people been asking their company to cover the rate of inflation? I have been in the same company for almost 5 years since I got out of school. I am up for a raise this summer and am wondering how do I go about doing “market research” so I can have a number in mind regarding my raise. I have gotten ~5% raises every year but that will not be acceptable this year with inflation. Should I ask for 8.5% (inflation) +5%?

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit.

Is it normal for a Product Owner to lay out specs for how a feature should work?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.
