I graduated in May with a BFA in graphic design. I want to pursue animation/motion graphics and have experience from two internships. Applied to 100+ places but no luck. Any advice please?

Reach out to your friends who has already graduated and are in the field. Also reach out to the places you have already interned at. And maybe you can ask the Creative director or Head of design you interned at for a portfolio/resume review for feedback.

@MullenLowe1 Unfortunately, the two places I interned at were small companies and didn’t have a CD. One was a software company and the other had about 6 freelance employees. I’ll try to see if any of my former classmates are in this field too, but I know most of them are doing print or advertising design. Not so much animation

Our system is really lacking and we do a lot of work outside of it to track data. Currently I’m using Excel to track data from multiple resources, however, it’s so manual and prone to error.

For those who rigorously budget to achieve FIRE, can y’all give me some tips that work for you? We’ve tried to do the tracking every item we buy thing but we’ve never been able to honestly track every purchase for a month. It feels like too much work with 2 kids! Any other tips and tricks that work for you? In general we automate savings first and kind of reflect on the bills at end of month and note where to tighten for the following month but I feel like we need more discipline
