I work remotely from a small town in GA and am worried I’m about to get laid off in the coming weeks or months. To make sure I’m not caught on my back foot, I’m looking at where I might relocate to, since remote jobs at decent shops seem like a thing of the past.

I’m torn between Chicago (close to family, more affordable, love the city itself) and NYC (better job ops but SO pricey and would be a massive lifestyle change).

So, between NYC and Chicago, which would you recommend?

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD.

In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
