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

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?
