Is banking worth it?
Does anybody have any advice when applying to postings with many applicants and getting noticed? The company I am interested in is Figma, and though I reached out to a few technical recruiters after applying through LinkedIn, I am wondering if there might be something more I could do that maybe I’m not thinking about. Also along those lines, if anybody here works for figma I would love the chance to connect

Yep, I’ve got a friend who is one! Her official title is Art Director, but she’s definitely a designer-illustrator. Mad tablet chops
Almost every designer I’ve hired (~20) is the hybrid you’ve described. Finding them earlier in their career is easier, but will require more mentorship investment. The more established folks will come with a justified premium and they turn up much less often. Watch out for designers who claim they can illustrate but lack the skills to do it in real-world scenarios (on a deadline, lots of potential revisions, stretching across different styles, etc). Good luck!
Super helpful, thank you!
