Hello!
I came across a opening for a Strategic Designer role at BCDV which I am extremely keen on.
Would it be possible for anyone to refer me?
My bachelor's was in Product Designer, worked for 2.5 years as UX designer and just finished my Masters in Innovation Management.
Definitely happy to share CV and portfolio before.

Honestly, I’m against joint accounts...why fix what isn’t broken? We’ve managed fine with separate finances for years, and I like the independence. Mixing everything feels risky; what if we argue over spending or, worse, break up? Splitting assets then would be a nightmare. I’d rather keep things simple and just Venmo each other for shared expenses.
Yeah I went through a similar situation with my partner too. For us, it happened around year four, we eased in by keeping our own accounts and opening a joint one just for shared bills. That helped build trust without feeling like we were giving up autonomy. Maybe framing it that way could help your partner feel more at ease?
We did it right when we got married. Once you're married, you're one, and you need to operate as one financially too. Having a joint account made budgeting, bills, and goals easier to manage together. I believe this also helps have a healthy marriage!
There are a lot of different ways to manage finances, don’t feel like you have to do anything that both of you aren’t happy/comfortable doing. Money can be one of the biggest and unnecessary hurdles in a relationship. There is no one size fits all and you don’t have to force yourself into it.
