How do you respond to a verbal job offer you've been dying for? Do you say you'll think about it? Show your excitement? Or is it bad to look too excited? Do you say thanks pageantry style? Lol I know it's a weird question but I'm a noob and I've never had a verbal offer before.

Congrats! 🍾🎉🎊 definitely fine and should express your enthusiasm as you make sure to inquire when the written offer will be sent. Without that written offer it’s not official. Also don’t forget to negotiate!

Anyone have a good setup for switching between screens on two machines? I have a MBP for work, and a Mac Mini for my personal/side gigs. Each one is hooked up via usb-c > thunderbolt 2 adapters to some older apple cinema displays. I want to be able to switch one of the screens back and forth to one machine or the other but I can’t find a good way to do it. Any solutions?

I’m in a final rounds of two companies that I potentially want to work for, Grubhub and Groupon. I recently had a recruiter from Deloitte digital reach out as well. At this point I’m not sure if I should reject the recruiter or go ahead with an interview even though I might be getting offers this month from other two companies. I’m honestly torn because they all seem like great opportunities and it’s absolutely wild to me how all three are happening at the same time for me.

Any other UX designers out there feeling the effects of churn in their organization? I work at a large fortune 100 company and we’ve seen so much reorganization and problems with retention in the last 6 months to a year. In the last 4 months 6 PMs have quit and they still haven’t backfilled their positions or they will and someone will quit shortly after. It’s been draining for sure. Mostly just curious what other companies look like right now.
