Do you have a 5-9 after your 9-5? I feel like there’s so many people promoting this hustle lifestyle now that it almost feels like you’re falling behind if you’re not constantly working to make money

Yes. I started making jewelry to have some extra money and afford the high cost of living (it’s crazy how you have to worry if you’ll be able to afford food/groceries after paying rent/bills). Plus it gets me away from my computer and my creative juices can freely flow.

I have a 5-9 in my 9-5 🥲

I have more of a 5-6 after the 9-5. I started picking up some extra work just to have some extra money, and I can easily see how it quickly becomes a trap of work all day, every day.

I am going to move in the next few month to a location with a higher cost of living due to personal circumstances. I love my current company but I’ve only been here a little over a month, how should I go about requesting if it’s possible to get a salary increase? Might be a stretch but thought it might be worth mentioning.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
