Is PDM ever going to be less crappy?
HCL Technologies offer being delayed and recruiter keeps saying that there's a problem with their "Offer release portal system." I have already stated my issues with relocating until after I have the offer signed and ready. The project is supposed to start on the 19th and I'm supposed to join before, or on that date. It's already coming up soon and I don't have the official offer so that I can confidently start the relocation process. Has anyone else recently dealt with this?
Hey All!
I have a phone interview for a data scientist role at snowflake comming up. Any advice on how to prep?
The email indicates that the call will cover my experience, motivations, and understanding of Snowflake.
Curious if other have gone through the process and have insights to share. Or if anyone at snowflake can shed light on how I can be effective.

Honestly, don't do major in Ux. If you really want to get job then start recording yourself designing. Post video shorts in insta, LinkedIn and other social media platforms. Once you start doing that and your work quality keeps on getting better, then clients and companies will start approaching you. I know lot of Ux designers who end up getting contract job and struggle to find a new job when their contract ends. This drains them financially. Even if you go to SCAD there is no guarantee that you might end up getting job after that. So I would recommend you to start with your own social media page for posting your design stuff and along with that you can do UX major. Hope this helps✨✨🔥
Maybe the times are changing, but of the hundreds of Designers I've known over my career I don't know a single person who got a job this way.
Great portfolio, yes. History of proven successes, yes. Great connections, yes. Great conference presentation, yes. Posting videos... not a single one.
It’s certainly a tighter job market right now for the UX space but companies are still hiring. Make sure you are looking for keywords like “product designer” also on your search.
That’s why I’m going. I was only trained for websites and apps. I must’ve expand my horizon into products so I can try to stay gainfully employed.
I know a few UX Designers who have expressed a feeling that UX has peaked and that we won't see the numbers of UX/UI Design jobs that we saw a few years ago. I am a little more optimistic and feel that UX as a discipline isn't going away any time soon, but acknowledge that when companies look to decrease headcount UX is one of the first places they look. The problem we have right now isn't just that there are fewer UX jobs available, the problem is that bootcamps, certification programs, and degree programs have been churning out UX/UI designers, resulting in 1000s - like you - who are now looking for work. And, all of those recent graduates are competing against experienced designers who've been laid off or are just looking for a change.
So, should you get a degree in UX Design? That is your choice, perhaps by the time you are done the Tech market has recovered and there will be more entry level jobs. But, if my son asked me for this advice, I would recommend against it.
