Been sending out lot of applications, about 78 this month I guess. No luck with it tough.
But one thing that have kept my mind off that is the graphics design freelance market, the market is quite saturated, but just literally small business would be willing to pay you for a one time project, I closed a $800 project three days ago when i cold message on Facebook to this small business, saw they needed a bit of branding and good graphics, and we had a zoom call and thay was it, quite the deal!👌

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

I’m having a problem with micro management and design by committee starting to rear its ugly head in my company.
