4 months. I quit without another job offer because I was so miserable and not doing what I wanted. Got an interview for my current job at the end of my two week notice. Been here for about a month and love it! I did take a small pay cut but well worth it.

4hours…….. the manager was disrespectful. I was able to explain that early on in my career.

4 months, I semi-rage quit because I didn’t like the way design was integrated into the agency, the way I was being treated and I was tired of feeling hopeless and angry all the time

Looked for a job for 2 months before finding my current role, and talking about my 4-month stint in interviews was helpful in explaining what I want from a role and how I want to be treated at work

Because of layoffs, I have a new boss for the 4th time in 4 years. My new boss prefers to write new lines as opposed to giving me feedback on what I’ve written. What’s the best way to approach?

Im in a junior position, have excellent feedback, work hard. I make very little $. I had 2 job offers and told my current company I couldn’t afford to stay there. They immediately matched. 4 months later I followed up and the timing of the adjustment will now align with the timing cost of living increases for inflation which apparently I’m ineligible for. Should this exempt me from a cost of living increase due the adjusted salary 5 months after we agreed to this?

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.
