CDs - I recently got laid off and would like to work on a personal project during my job hunt. I’d like it to be something I can add to my book. Anyone have any advice on what direction I should take?

Personal projects are... personal :). What do you love? What would you like to do in your next gig?
Make sure that your personal project reflects that.
I like films. I write short films and partner up with people that have the same passion. It has value for me, but your thing might be something else entirely.

Not a CD (yet!), but what about doing pro bono work on a passion project?

Something you believe in—a product, a perspective.

Try to take something familiar and make it unfamiliar. My side thing is cooking, but I make things like Mountain Dew cheesecake, deep fried Gatorade, Red Bull muffins, etc. They always get a kick out of it

Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️

I don't agree with Dave Ramsey on many things but there's one thing that really made sense.

He says keep your investments mostly in equities even into retirement since you can take advantage of the market while retired since you don't plan to withdraw everything all at once. You also have to keep 3-4 years of expenses in savings in case of market downturns.

In retirement, when the market is high, withdraw from the market. When the market is low, withdraw from savings and replenish. Thoughts?
