Do any of you still use Adobe CS6 for work? I’m trying to change job, but it is a little intimidating to think that I’m probably behind all the new features and softwares used in the industry. Will this be an issue for future employers if they find this out during the interview phase?

If you get your hands at a CC you will be able to use it the same way you use the CS6. The biggest difference is that adobe messed up a few shortcuts. For instance proportional scale is now the default on photoshop and you have to hold shift for non-proportional but on indesign and illustrator is different. Who knows why they did that but you can manually change your shortcuts anyways.

But I highly recommend you to figure out all the new tools and improvements ASAP because you are really missing out, photoshop selection by subject for instance really speeds the workflow.
Pick a trial version and go over all the major changes since CS6.

That’s good to know. Thank you. I will push my manager to get the CC, if not I will have to pay it for myself on my personal laptop. I don’t want keep falling behind..:/

Will you ever have to exchange files back and forth? For editing (premiere) I have to be up to date because often times we need to give projects back and forth and they aren’t compatible. This hasn’t ever come up in an interview but I wouldn’t actually be able to do my job with CS6.

I truly feel Adobe makes file formats incompatible with older versions on purpose, to force people into their subscription-only business model.

It won’t be an issue. Some things have gotten easier but most of the “new” features as far as a designer goes I have turned off, especially anything cloud-based. They’re a nuisance IMO.

Been using Adobe products for over 27 years straight. I kept my CS6 on an older home machine because I refuse to pay a subscription. I use CC at work. The new CC versions are 95% the same as CS6. Adobe got LAZY once they went subscription-only. You’ll be fine. The majority of new features are really just rehashes of older features that you already know. They’re something you can learn in a few minutes. But most of the new little features you don’t even really need to learn anyway. The bulk of what you need to know have been around for literally decades.

The only truly new thing that wasn’t there before is Adobe XD. If you know Sketch or Figma, you’re already halfway there. I’d do a crash course on XD then.

As others mentioned, it’s not significantly different and there’s always Google! You’ll be fine, I don’t see how an employer would ever know.

Also, CC does a free week trial if you wanna play around with it for a week before and get used to the adjustments

Should I relocate for effectively the same base pay but more expensive city? Is it likely I'll get promoted to L5 eventually?
