Hi everyone! I’m a senior graphic designer working full time, and i recently graduated from a UX bootcamp. In addition, I’m currently volunteering as a product designer. I’m looking to transition into a full time role either UX/UI or Product design, but I’m not sure whether to apply for senior level or entry level position given my qualification. Any advice on the best approach to take would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I am a business development manager in a small biotech incubator. My end goal is to work in commercial, BD or operations within a big pharma/biotech company. What would be best for me:

1) stay in my company to quickly become BD Director and then exit (however my learning opportunities within my current company might be limited)
2) go do consulting for a few years
3) any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Currently an associate at a mid-sized firm with “strong potential” to make partner at the end of this year. Things have been toxic for a while, but have cratered in 2021, with few signs there will be any positive changes on the horizon. What are the pros and cons of staying to make partner before trying to go in-house? I’d assumed it would be better to job search with that title on the resume, but am rethinking my assumptions the worse things get.

I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?
