Is exp people in testing/frontend dev are less due to which they getting better pay than others with experience.

I’ve gotten an initial offer and trying to get some context on what the range is for this and whether I should push for more or accept. It is 5,000 above what I said my minimum was, but is significantly more than my current salary. Thanks for any input :)

Newbie on the block wanted to ask how long the hiring process usually takes (for a junior or intern)?

Is anyone expecting agency layoffs at the moment?

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones? Right now we have a ton of team leaders on the west coast with the core team on the east coast and because of that urgent requests keep coming down after hours with the expectation to address it immediately. So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Thoughts on AI copywriting software? It's so cringy to me to think people actually are trying to get rid of copywriters with AI. Those taglines, headlines, etc., that are generated are terrrriblleee.
