I want to move to NYC so that means a new job search.
I wonder how people prepare for their portfolio while your work is owned by your current company. Do you recreate some of those work and explain in your case study?

And, how much of salary do you need in NYC as still a junior level UX/UI designer?
YOE in UX/UI field: 2 years and 3 years of some other design experiences.

Also just keep in mind the rent. If you have student debt you’re worried about, you’ll have to add that in the budget of course. Cheapest shared rooms on Craigslist these days are 800-1200 in Brooklyn. 1600 minimum for your own small studio. The further out in queens, Harlem Bronx or Brooklyn (or dare I say… Staten Island), the cheaper things will be.
If you live in Manhattan or neighborhoods close to Manhattan, the price will be higher. Good luck

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
