How has title inflation impacted your experience applying for other jobs? I feel that I don’t deserve a “senior designer” title after only having real work experience in this role for 2 years. I am seen as an outstanding teammate and good at my job, but I lack the experience and skills that I feel is necessary for a senior design role at a different company. I’m afraid it will impact my opportunities moving forward and what is expected of me.

After 7 rounds of interviews My recruiter said, “We will get back to you with an update as soon as we finished interviews with other candidates and debriefed.” Is that a bad sign?

I'm looking to transition from STEAM education to more of full time design position (hard preference on remote), my experience ranges from 2D/3D graphics, fashion, product, motion/animation, and game design along with bit of Arch Vis and UX & UI and lastly video editing.

I'm looking to start a conversation on how to find a shop that could utilize my talents.

Could anyone help me understand the levels for SEM role in Comcast Engineering Center India?

I attended a couple of rounds of interviews for Software Engineering Manager 1 (as the JD said) on a quick schedule and wonder if I should have asked next level instead.

YoE - 15, Hands-on EM, can code, do project and people management
Tech - AWS and .NET

Also an indicative range of CTC I should ask for will be helpful. Currently I'm underpaid at 20.1L as I worked in the same company for 12 years.

Hello fishes,

Thank you

Hi Fishes

As a .Net Developer, what are some non service based companies that are good in terms of technical learnings and growth for a 6YOE with good employee policies. Big plus for good working culture and WLB.
PS: Been working in Service based companies since last 6 years and I think I feel like I don't want to work in a client and service provider type team. O think too much effort goes into client dealing,reporting and maintaining image. Frustating to do this on daily basis.

Hi all,

I’m looking for a job referral from 3 companies.

Is it worth taking calls from recruiters when you're absolutely not looking to leave? I just started a new position 6 months ago; I'm always interested in connecting with recruiters just to be on their list in case some once in a lifetime opportunity comes along, but I'm obviously not looking to leave yet.

How to professionally break manipulative work relationships with your co workers and management?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

I’m relatively safe for the moment, but looking at companies/industries that have some resilience despite downturn…

I’m getting frustrated with these unpaid design tests I am required to complete! Should I be water marking my design tests?

An acquaintance from school asked me to design a logo for her. She already has the concept. She sent me a rough sketch with colors and typefaces she wants to use for her brand. She really just needs my illustration help. How much would you all charge for something like this? It’s a bit different from starting from scratch so I’m curious. Thank you!

I’m trying to move into product design but come from an agency background. I have some product stuff in my book but I’ve been told I need experience working with product teams, which I can’t get ...

I was told I don't push back on stakeholder asks enough. Then given feedback that I ask too many questions trying to understand the root problem. This sums up all problems with UX "consulting."

As I continue to navigate the waters surrounding my salary and YOE (23), I’m evaluating what I do in my current position. As the only designer, I enforce corporate brand standards for account comms and I do all creative things for the client: review creative briefs, conceptualize art direction (layouts, typography, color, etc) for print and web, prepare files, direct on how to make comms ADA compliant, review newsletters, etc. I don’t have a team, but am I more than a Senior Graphic Designer?

How much do you earn as a Senior UX designer? Please include year of experience, and any bonus/other compensation included. Thank you!

Hello,
I worked as a in-house graphic designer since the beginning of my career and now want to transition to a product designer. Unfortunately I couldn't find any opportunities yet. I believe I can learn more on the go so I am interested in junior roles. Do you have any advice for me?

Thoughts on unpaid design internships for a startup? As a new designer with a non-traditional background, should I consider going unpaid because I need the experience? Is this normal for the industry?

Reading Fishbowl makes it so obvious why my agency both knows they need my and why creatives/account think UX is a joke. If my award tally goes up after Cannes, maybe it’s time to jump to consulting.

I was “terminated” from one of the shitty IT conglomerates from India today. for no reason at the same time I’m furious because I have documented all the discrimination , sexism, harassment, labor laws broken, intimidation tactics , harassment of various kinds including sexual, so I am demanding a larger severance package the. What they offered which was nothing. I have documented all proof of this. They have consistently set me up in situations designed for me to fail.

FOR RECENT DESIGN GRADUATES:
What’s something that you wish you’d been taught / told about the design world ahead of time? (Either as just a piece of advice or insight or if there was a whole class / lecture about XYZ)

Has anyone ever been a victim to a team member’s jealousy? I have this person on my team who tears apart my work in front of all the creative directors. It makes me look bad.. I can’t help but take her comments personally. I can’t help but think there’s some jealousy- she has so much energy to rip someone apart. Everyone else complements my work but I’m afraid to mess up and have her call me out in front of the directors. I feel like the whole time I’m just playing defense. What do I do?

Have an interview coming up. Torn between showing current design released to users vs new design not yet released with minor color updates that align more to the branding & look a bit nicer. Which route should I go?

Sometimes I am envious of other positions unrelated to design. Portfolios are tough, time consuming, and expensive! I’ve invested over half a k in the last two years fixing and redesigning my portfolio website, and that doesn’t include the time I put into it!

I wouldn’t change my profession in a heart beat but odd how it feels like we are the only group of professionals that has to invest money just to present our work.

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!
