Designers, I was working for my last job of 5 years as a Sr. Web Designer and was very happy there. During COVID my role changed to Email marketing and my work was given to our freelancer in Russia. I had to do something I really hated and not in my field. I’m looking for remote Sr. web/graphic jobs now but it’s so competitive. I finally have an interview but position isn’t senior. Keeping options open but need interview tips for remote jobs, haven’t been on an interview in a long time. Thanks.

Be you. You’re on the interview cause your work spoke for itself so use that confidence. Interviews are more or less personality tests. They are looking to see if you’d fit into the team dynamic as much as you are looking to see if the company culture is right for you.

Question for ya: considering the market saturation you are finding for web work, have you considered broadening your search to include more general UI design? Web designers often make a pretty easy leap to mobile app UI design. Some of my best designers cut their teeth on web and are now my best mobile and product designers. It’s a high demand role.

Thank you so much for your input - much appreciated! Yes I feel like I will try to be myself and stay relaxed… hopefully, as much as I can :) … as for learning UI design, I have been giving it some thought because I have noticed it IS in very high demand when I’m looking for web/graphic design jobs… you’re right about that. Thank you.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
