Have been stuck in a senior role for almost 4 years. Hope to change it to a product designer role but keep getting rejections. I need some positive stories. Anyone had similar experience and ended up with happy ending? Please share.

I’m making the change to product design, and surprisingly applying through an external recruiter (Aquent) was how I got my foot in the door! Almost all of my work has been in the digital space which helped, and when going through my work I tried to talk more on how my skills align with product design.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
