Does anyone hate the way Dropbox is trying to position itself as a creative tool as much as I do?

Yes their Creative is well executed but doesn’t line up with what the actual product is.

Umm, why is that @SC1? Dropbox is the best OS-integrated cloud service out there - especially for small businesses/freelancers. They make us use Box for all stuff at work and it’s an okay also-ran, but not up to the reliability and guarantee of Dropbox. And when you’re sending out gig-size files sometimes or need to collaborate out of a central place, I know I can trust it.

Dropbox has had a shit ton of security problems in the past. I wouldn’t call it the best product out there in the market.

The history shows that everyone has security problems but at least their UX doesn’t suck and syncing is seamless. I’m with you, OP. I actually really don’t like new creative - feels off and blatantly stolen from a dozen other very recent campaigns.

It’s one thing to have security problems, it’s another to repeatedly have hackers access your system through glitches. I remember there was a bug years ago that let someone into my account with any password. Not cool Dropbox...

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
