How often are you searching for jobs/opportunities while working? Do you only start looking when you know you want to leave, or do you continue to entertain opportunities as a way to see what the market is like and also practice for when the time is right?

I first started when I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to progress in my current position. I’ve been looking for around 6 months properly now, before that I was looking casually to see what’s about.

I applied to a couple but didn’t have any luck, I’ve now lost said job and so I’m looking most days!

I'm always looking for another opportunity. You never know when the next best thing might come around.

That's true and smart! Think I need to start doing this more especially once I get settled in at a role. It's probably also easier to network with people when you're still working in a role and casually looking rather than when you're desperately looking for a new role

Current US job market and cost of living are forcing both employers and employees to move differently. I keep a pulse on supply & demand of designers, the skills listed, and the salary ranges to gauge what my team needs to stay competitive by assessing the job boards regularly.

Yea that's really smart. Understanding what's available on the market and what's being offered will help a lot in determining what your next moves should be

I’ve been casually looking for over a year, but over the last six months I have taken my search more seriously and looking most days. Most jobs are remote and that’s not something I’m looking for. I’ve even sent out a few speculative applications to local companies that I may be a good fit for. I feel isolated in remote work which has led me to take my search more seriously.

As I graduated during the pandemic it’s all I know and it’s very isolating. I’d like either hybrid or in office. The job search isn’t doing the best to be honest

Hello Guys,

I joined
Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?

As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out. I have been designing professionally now for just over 15 years now. I work very quickly and very well with other team members. I also take on freelance work. I’m married with 2 kids so the more work the better.

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?
