I am looking to change jobs and need to put together a portfolio, however all my experience so far has been confidential. Does anyone have any tips or had experience with this?

For the portfolio pieces: Password protect the case studies, white label the products (remote company name/data)

For public facing stuff: talk about your process, the people you worked with, how the collaboration was, talk about the work in a high level overview without divulging any details (like so other competitors can't steal the ideas etc)

Put everything behind a password protect. If you haven’t signed any NDAs then there’s really no action they could take on you but it’s always better to be safe to avoid a headache.

Mega backdoor question - I wanted to take advantage of this while it still existed so I contributed to after tax 401k the last few paychecks. Is the correct process to do a withdrawal/rollover directly to my Roth IRA account? It seems like I can do a direct deposit from the 401k but it is asking if this is a checking or savings account which seems wrong.

Got an offer today...

Applied for a mechanical engineering position. Salary range was 65-75k a year. When asked about salary during the first interview, I replied 70k is my number. Later I found out that since it's a small company no health benefits would be provided, but 10 PTO days are included. Had I known about the lack of health benefits and 401k match I would have increased my bottom.

The offer today was for 70k but now I'm not sure if I should try to negotiate for another 2-3k?

My new employer sent me a work laptop and today in an onboarding call, the HR said that all employer laptops have an ActivTrak monitoring system and anyone who is away for more than 20 minutes will immediately get a call about less than a number of hours. I am thinking of buying a jiggler mouse which keeps moving on the screen so that it keeps the status active but I'm not sure whether the laptop can detect this or not. I don't want to work under anxiety of this stupid rule. What should I do?

I was reached out on LinkedIn by a design manager for a get-to-know call. I have never done a screening call with a design manager before. I haven’t sent her my resume— She didn’t ask, and I completely forgot.
My resume has my portfolio website and a password, but I kinda want to chat with her before sharing my work, so she can see how passionate I am and I am willing to learn before she sees my work. Is it okay if I don’t share my resume before the screening call? Or omit link to my website?

I have over 10 years experience in design/marketing.

I’m considering a change in career and would like to work fully-remote. I feel inadequate for the current workplace. I know no UX/UI, relatively no web design, no video experience. Is it imposter syndrome? Any tips or recommendations?
