Ok, so I have a couple of offers, one kind of lackluster, for the County. The other is for a credit union-I left credit unions a few years ago to join a FinTech supporting credit unions)
I was laid off last month and have had a flurry of interviews…this credit union offer is my favorite so far, I do have another offer I’m waiting for from another tech company which has a much higher salary range, but nothing is written in stone.
Should I counter? The offer is $95k for a project manager.

Solo designer in a consulting firm of around 50ppl . My +1 is a head of departement that is not linked to design. He’s gathering briefing, discussing money and planning then throw at me work to do « asap ». Results is often quickly pushed, and poor quality of work.

Hi! 👋🏼 Any designers here want to collaborate on a project to add to our portfolios? Looking to take my portfolio up a notch and would love to work with others who also may need a project/case study. And if anyone has any ideas on what we could design or what pain point we could address, ideas are most welcome!

What should I charge for an hourly rate for contract work (general UX)? I’m mid-level designer with 2 years experience. I used to work full time for the company so they know me well and have asked me to do 4-6 hours a week for a month or so. I’m based in the UK so £GBP rates 👍

I was reached out on LinkedIn by a design manager for a get-to-know call. I have never done a screening call with a design manager before. I haven’t sent her my resume— She didn’t ask, and I completely forgot.
My resume has my portfolio website and a password, but I kinda want to chat with her before sharing my work, so she can see how passionate I am and I am willing to learn before she sees my work. Is it okay if I don’t share my resume before the screening call? Or omit link to my website?

Can we talk about how every time you’re looking for a new job or clients, it feels like it takes a calendar year to update every portfolio, website, online profile for consistency? For good measure, I even let my grandma know of the changes, but I’m sure people will still find my first school project out there somewhere…

where can I find great sketch templates to dissect and learn from?

How do you guys feel about design tests during the interview processs? Do you think it’s effective?

People who have interviewed with google in the past but did not get an offer. Did google recruiters ever reach out to you afterwards? I’m in a situation where I already accepted an offer from another company and google came back saying I passed to the last interview round. Even though google is my dream/end goal job, I decided to walk away from the opportunity. I was wonder if anyone ever got contacted by the recruiters later on after failing/withdrawing the interviews?

I start my new job as a system designer next week. I love design systems but I have never been in a role where it’s the only thing I do.
I tried to talk to system designers on APD but didn’t have much luck. I would love to talk to a system designer and get a realistic idea of what that job entitles.
Please let me know if you are a system designer and want to chat with me! TIA 😊

We are currently hiring multiple positions. Please check out the details at

Hi Designers. Trying to get my resume revamped so I can apply for new jobs. I have 10+ years experience but I have been editing my own resume and now I realize it may not be formatted for online submission. Anyone have any recommendations?
