Hi 👋🏼 how does everyone deal with someone who doesn’t produce at pace? We’re a small team of 3 at a startup. Since this guy joined in October he’s hardly produced any work and the work he has produced has taken weeks and weeks to produce. As a result I’m given 80% of the design work to complete. The other person is strictly research. How do I bring this up to management without sounding rancorous and negative?

Any b4 partners contributing to 529 plans? Most plans offer funds that are from restricted entities. How do you navigate that?

Specifically interested in knowing what PwC partners are using.

Feeling disappointed. I started a medicated cycle and only 1 follicle has reached 15mm. I was only on 2.5mg. We are doing timed and will still try with this follicle, that is If I ovulate…
I have another ultrasound in 2 days. My ultrasound tech mentioned my lining wasn’t very thick either. Just discouraged.
I wonder if this cycle doesn’t work if I can just to go at right up with my meds and do IUI. Been TTC for 1.5 years now.

My father apptly invited my cousin to thanksgiving. The cousin who took my baby name bc she “wasn’t sure it would get used given ‘my situation” and “wanted to make sure it got used since it’s such a beautiful name.” So I guess I’m having dinner across from a 7 month old baby with my dream baby’s name. Super weird to resent an infant on thanksgiving, but that’s where we are..

I graduated with a master's degree in Dec 2021 and have been searching for jobs since then. I got a referral at PwC recently for a graduate consulting and advisory role but at the time I wasn't aware of using more keywords to get past the ATS and I believe my resume was basic.
Curious to know how effective referrals at PwC are and how exactly they work

Hello! Q on how to follow up w/ recruiter about a role. DM’d them about Founding Product Designer role, they “love my background” but looking for someone with actually 10 YOE (JD says 4+). It’s been a little over a mo. with role seemingly still open on their site.

I’ve since updated resume w/ + experience (isn’t close to 4 years tho) and exp is aligned. Looking at the rest of the JD and type of company, I know I can fill the role.

Was wondering what is your path going from a UX designer to a product designer? Do you just apply to an open position? Thanks !

Hi everyone…we currently hired a “marketing assistant” who has no degree or experience in marketing or design. I’m being asked to train them, their background is retail so they’re not even familiar with basic corporate programs (Microsoft & outlook). Is it wrong to be offended? 😂 I’ve being studying graphic design since HS, my degree is Visual communications/graphic design. Now I’m being asking to just “show them” how to use the creative suite for graphics!!

How do y’all get productive? My productive hours usually start after lunch 😅 the mornings have always been rough to me no matter what I do. Share your wisdom with me!

If you were to create a television comedy about being an in-house designer is there anything you’d want to see? Impossible requests? Font talk? Shop talk? Anything you’d not want to see? Cliches? Stupid jokes?

Im currently at a startup that’s in the fintech space. I have about 50-60,000 shares in the company. The thing is, 1) Design is truly only thought about as a UI addition and not thought as a UX need. I don’t have time to research because I’m juggling 8 projects at a time. 2) A new head was brought in without the teams approval 😳. 3) I lost my only candidate because of the ceo forgetting that they approved me for a CONTRACT candidate. Should I leave or stay to work on the culture?

Thinking about moving to NYC. Is 85k low or high for a midlvl designer at an agency?

Any book recommendations for soft skills at an agency/studio? For stuff like giving feedback, meetings, presentations, client interaction, etc.

I had a really weird interview for Creative Director today.

It’s a small startup. HR interviewed me and asked all the hard hitting questions (how do you get design inspiration, how do you deal with design roadblocks, what sets you apart for this role?) which I thought was odd for a screening interview.

They made some affirmative noises then said the next step would be a design test (one pager) which I would present to a panel of interviewers including the CMO.
Anyone else think this is odd?

Dell XPS 13 or M1 MacBook for product design work?

I just got offered 140k for design manager in Toronto. Is it ok? I would love some thoughts.
