How do you improve your UX skills?

About to join a consulting firm as a UI Designer. Any experiences in working in that industry?

Who has worked with company NDAs in the past? Not Client NDAs, but one that was put forth by the company you work for? To me, it gets real sticky with being able to show work in your book if you have signed an NDA.

I was reached out on LinkedIn by a design manager for a get-to-know call. I have never done a screening call with a design manager before. I haven’t sent her my resume— She didn’t ask, and I completely forgot.
My resume has my portfolio website and a password, but I kinda want to chat with her before sharing my work, so she can see how passionate I am and I am willing to learn before she sees my work. Is it okay if I don’t share my resume before the screening call? Or omit link to my website?

Any Product Designers here working at Adobe? How is your design team structured? Do you get to work with other designers from different products (ie PD on Photoshop working with PD on Illustrator side)?

What would your reaction be after finding out your near identical counterpart makes 10k more than you do? Would you still want to relocate to your office’s city after finding out? Don’t get me wrong, I know I got the short end of the stick and I plan on leaving once I hit my year mark in 6 months. I just am so saddened yet not actually surprised that my agency did that to me.

Just leveled up to Product Design Lead. Would Experience Design Manager be the next move?

Hey Designers! So I’ve been at my current design studio for a little over 10 years. It’s a small studio—2 partners, now 3 additional designers, not including me. I’ve been asked a few times over the years if I’d be interested in being a partner but have turned it down.

It’s recently come up again (potentially 5%). I still need to sit down with them and learn more, but I’m not sure I see the benefits(yet)? Any thoughts from those who’ve done this before? Thanks so much 🙏
