I made a mistake in my first 30 days at a new company, and my boss chewed me out via phone call right after a meeting.

The mistake was that I shared my wireframes w/ the account team who are not savvy within digital or working with designers, but I started working on the wrong WF & they included that included that in our KO meeting. So things had to be shifted & deadlines had to be moved, causing another person to add more work to their load in less time.
Should I be looking for another job?

Why are you punishing yourself for sth which is just bit mis communication though

If your boss really chewed you out rather than calmly and diplomatically talking to you, yes. You should be allowed one get out of jail free card in the first 30/60 days. Also not make the same mistake again.

But also consider what led to you working in the wrong wireframes? Your honest mistake? Poor communication?

Is this team refusing to engage with the tools rather than not being savvy? Or can they at least leave a comment in Figma (assuming you use that)? If they refuse to engage, that’s a problem too. 🚩

Don’t know if you can see this if I reply here, personally would advice if you are super junior to go sw where you’d get basic training that can help you to blend in and feel comfortable at your role, better long term personal development too… I worked in other role, not as UX designer before. but kinda was in a similar situation like you. not one day I don’t regret taking this job where I had not much training and the people worked together had limited experiences… I’d say if you can get a job as UX designer, you must came from a decent school and had an okayish portfolio, maybe looking for a better place might be a good option as well. ( of course I don’t know how bad or how disorganized your current place is though… )

I’m transitioning from Art Director to UX/UI Designer. As an AD, I’ve worked on UX/UI but it wasn’t the only thing I did. I don’t know how to title myself on my resume with all my experience being an AD and/or Designer though.

Does anyone have some advice on how to approach applying to jobs during this transition?

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.
