How can I prepare for design assignments?
Recently was given a design assignment by a tech firm and I failed miserably.
Realized my UI skills are horrible.
How can I prepare myself for design assignments- especially managing my time, coming up with better solution, etc.?

Practise. Screenshot and copy the design. This helps with understanding placement and layout. Study Material Design to get familiar with naming conventions. Get good with the tool of choice, like Figma. After following these steps you will have set up a base of UI components which will help you for design assignements. Good Luck!

Give some context, nobody knows if you are even a designer. Also, no compensation details and experience. No response.

I've recently joined IBM and I feel I've made a mistake. No proper induction/onboarding, no proper details shared, its been 3 days and I'm the one reaching out to managers. No one bothered to connect with me, introduce to the team or even respond properly when I'm taking the initiative.

Is it normal in IBM?

How much will be the notice period if I resign in probation, assuming I joined a week back? I feel I made a mistake rejecting other offers and joining IBM.

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?

Confused!
So I am working as a UI UX designer since Jan22. I started with a really good project (everything from the scratch) with research, knowing the user etc. The project went really well. It was my first project that I handled individually. I got another project it also went well. Then I was told to work directly with a client, it's been 2 months already we work late hours and also on weekend (asked by the client). It feels like my personal life is gone. Do you think I should change job?
