As a agency UX designer, I found it’s hard to land a job at a product company. I’ve been searching for in-house design jobs for a month.

Landed some interviews at big companies like Amazon and Dropbox, but many of interviewers had concerns about my experience, as I mostly designed marketing sites or app that has limited data to validate the design.

It seems that the only way to go right now is to try to get in ANY product company to sharpen my product design skills.

Any advice?

How long does the interview process take for Bain? It’s been a week since the practice case walkthrough and I’ve heard nothing back, and I reached out to the recruiter a day after the practice interview. Getting a little nervous

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Hello Fishes,
Does it look bad on my profile to leave my current job within the probation period, for a more lucrative offer abroad. How do I do the explaining to my new job and what reasons should i give to the current job to have quit so early.
I feel really bad that my current company hired me at a raise and are investing into my on-boarding etc.

Hi All,
I wish to join one of the top consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, B&C etc. I am currently working as a Business Analyst with a work ex of 3 years.
I have started exploring on my own and one thing that came out different were Case Studies interviews and I have started reading and preparing for them.
I will do MBA also post working in one of these firms.
I was hoping if anyone can help me to prepare better or suggest a plan to land a job for a role that aligns with my ambitions.
Thank You

Is there generally a penalty if you give your resignation while you’re out on short term disability or FMLA? My employee handbook doesn’t say anything and HR won’t give me any info.

I am a Design engineer working at a civil engineering consulting firm with 3 years of experience. I am thinking about changing my career to construction and I have an interview coming up soon with a reputable construction company. The new position would be a Construction Superintendent. Is this a “downgrade” in any way?

I got turned down for three mid level design positions. I don’t know if it’s because my last position was as an art director and they’re just confused or if I seem not as enthusiastic about the role as I should be but it’s definitely disheartening because I’m unemployed and I need to get back to work. I have since decided to focus more on senior designer and Art Director roles at a higher rate and will go from there.

How do you deal with web compliance contrast colors?

I have over 10 years experience in design/marketing. The companies I worked for are small businesses (Less than 100 employees) so I’ve had to wear many hats (e-mail, print, social media management & ads, and very little google analytics and ads). I’m considering a change in career and would like to work fully-remote. I feel inadequate for the current workplace. I know no UX/UI, relatively no web design, no video experience. Is it imposter syndrome? Any tips or recommendations?
