Got fully prepared for a interview, while I waited for more than 15 mins and no one was in the zoom. Sent the email and recruiter was on PTO, the interviewer was design manager and I don't have his contact. Double checked the time and link and it wasn't my mistake. Just no one, except myself. Before I left I sent the msg to the expected interviewer on Linkedin and kindly asked is he is aware of the interview. But anyway, really frustrated with everything prepared while no one shows up...

Happened to me once for a big company, I waited for pretty much the whole interview time and at the end the recruiter responded to me telling me they’re too busy. They rescheduled the same interview but with someone else maybe a month later which was weird. I accepted the offer and enjoyed the job! I guess it depends on where it is.

Just figure out what their explanation is, and if it's a poor explanation, I would bail on the opportunity.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
