Hello there! I'm an illustrator / designer (playing compositions with bold geometric shapes and patterns, and a bit of product design). At the early stage of my practice, I've worked on fun projects - mainly illustrations - with established institutions. I was really hopeful.

However, currently having a bit of a plateau and mismatch on companies finding me. I've quoted $60/hr from a recent engagement (no updates yet). Any advice? And also when working remotely, how much does location factor in?

Hi All- I’d love to hear from the community what the focus areas are for Tier 2 firms in the region Are there certain sectors the various firms specialize/ focus on?

Anybody familiar with the Fisher Investments sales role? They give you a salary first 2 years plus commission, but the only thing that I don’t like is they no longer pay the trail on any account you open after 3 years. Just wanted to know if anyone knows anything about their program and if the FA’s are really getting THAT many leads to justify that comp plan.

Is $180k OTE competitive compensation for a Head of Product Design in a startup? Remote role. East Coast US hours. Managing a team (hands on too) so likely not a checkbox 40h work week.

Someone talk to me about Isobar and/or IA Collaborative. 👍👎❓

Where is a great place to find Graphic Designer positions, with solid companies that are willing to compensate at fair market value? I’ve tried Indeed and LinkedIn, but no luck landing even so much as an interview.

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products. What is your approach?

How do you count years of experience? Lets say you were a web master for 5 years. Then you transitioned into a proper UX role and did that for 5 years. Is that 10 years of experience or 5?

What do hiring managers want to hear when they ask "What's your process?" because I don't think I have one.

And when I explain something from Lean UX or something then apparently that's too cookie cutter.

I've done 26 interviews in the last month and I half and I've gotten no where 🥲

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!

How much time should I expect between starting a UX design boot camp, doing a job placement program with portfolio building to landing my first gig? I hope to be able to work quickly because I’ll have 15-20/week devoted to learning.

Think it’s possible to do it all under 6 months? I have 10 years of graphic design experiments 6 with a large entertainment company. I’ve saved money and I’m ready for the switch!
