Hi everyone! 👋
I’m working on a project and would really appreciate it if you could take just a few minutes to fill out my survey.
Your input would mean a lot — thank you! 🙏

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

How do you all keep up with trends in risk and internal audit?

If you don’t get any scoops of harissa at Cava, you can’t be trusted.

Any referal for UK - Data warehousing or Data Management space or Data Modeling?

16+ YOE mainframe Architect/Manager salary expectations please, which company giving high pay, any leads pls provide insights.....

Why is it so difficult to make the next career move within your OWN company. I have over 7 years of experience across multiple departments and yet an external company is more willing to give an interview to select roles than your own home company for the same role internally!!

Where is the loyalty in that !!??

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE. My manager thinks the best next step for me is to move into management and leadership and has started pushing me to apply for an engineering manager role. They say that I will be a good fit because of my strong technical background paired with the leadership and people skills I display currently.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

This is my first post being a PRO member! :D

Joining Google Strategy & Ops in June. Looking for books/videos/trainings to learn about the overall ad business and also Google’s specific ad products. Also may be worth mastering Google Presentation (vs ppt) Any suggestions?

From reading a number of books and listening to a number of podcasts about starting a business, one underlying factor they all share is to have deep passion for what you do. How do you know what your passion is? I mean I think a lot about golf but i don’t think that’s a passion. It’s my hobby. I think most people just know.

Day 1 CPT or H4 EAD?

Why is HCL delaying the offer letter?

What are some good companies to work for in technology space, especially cloud consulting and architecture. I already know about Microsoft, AWS & Google but asking to see others within technology consulting space.

Hi Everyone!
Could someone refer me to Spotify in Program Mgmt? I have 3 yrs of experience. Please let me know 😬

Any XD leads here that work at Accenture Interactive or EY Design Studio?
How do you like it? Is one better than the other? I'm talking to both and I'm kind of torn -- they both seem like good companies to work for. Any insight would be great!

anyone know who created Palantir's website?

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?

How can one transition from a Visual/graphic designer in marketing to a product designer? And what’s it like being a product designer w a visual design background? Will you completely leave behind the graphic design world or are you still wearing many hats and still fulfilling that design and creative buzz? What courses, or resources do you have to make that jump? Can my portfolio have made up projects for this? I feel like I’m starting all over in design school! Haha.

Are most companies paying for you to learn new skills? When acquiring new skills are you mostly self taught? What are your best go to sites for learning animation or video skills? Trying to gauge the norm on expectations for new hires who need to know everything from print, web, video, social and animation. Can you do it all?

How do you handle revisions at a company?

How do you get used to someone looking over your shoulder and watch you design? It makes me so nervous

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

Finally saved up enough $ to buy my first Wacom! Does anyone have tips on how to get used to using it? Or any good resources for inspiration /walk-thrus for drawing illustrations. I really want to dive into creating but need help pushing thru the learning curve

Is $90k - $100k a reasonable salary range for a senior visual designer with 9 years of experience at a tech company? I’m seeing a lot of varying numbers, and trying to consider inflation as a possibility.

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?

Finally got my first role as a UX Designer! Extremely excited and wanted to thank everyone that helped me out with questions and input!

What KPI/OKR metrics are used to measure design efficacy/ROI at your organization?

Is anybody using WACOM CINTIQ Pro 24"? I am contemplating getting one but wondering if I will be able to use a mouse/tablet along with it. I heavily use InDesign and wonder if I can use a mouse/tablet when I need to without unplugging it. Thanks in advance!

Any recos on in-person Sketch App workshops in Los Angeles?

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?

Where do you keep your non-library original components in Figma? Do you put them to the side outside of a working frame, within its own “Components” page (like Sketch does for Symbols), or do you keep the original directly inside of one of your layouts?

How do you know you’re a good designer? I get most of my ideas from being inspired by other work and just creating what I feel looks good. I know how to use design programs. But, I don’t know if that’s enough.

UI designers everywhere: Please stop making “peek-a-boo-only” interfaces.
