Most recruiters have access to the exact same database so location specific likely isn't necessary unless you're talking about smaller or single office firms. Then truthfully a recruiter won't be much help because they generally do not budget for a recruiters fee.

Your best bet is to network (LinkedIn is great for this) and reach out to firms directly!

I like Andrew Wilcox for all of Florida. Very knowledgeable about Florida firms!

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?

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
