If money wasn’t a factor would you still choose to be in your current profession? Would you switch?

If I could make the same money as a hedge fund manager or a software developer doing graphic design, I'd for sure keep doing this since I already know how to. If I'd need to learn the skills but could get one of those high paying jobs after, I'd leave in a second. I like what I do, but I'd take more money over doing something I'm passionate about without a second thought.

In recent years I've gotten somewhat obsessive with gardening. And if I could switch and make a living, I'd love to be a fulltime gardener. It's funny, I don't know if I'd be competent as a garden designer, but there are days I wish I was working in a nice walled garden somewhere.

I’d be a coffee farmer. While I really enjoy the work I’m doing right now, I’ve found that I don’t particularly care whether people can see their company performance stats from the dashboard on their homepage.

I would continue. I love how engaging my profession is - lots of nice little headaches to keep the heart beating :)

Hey Fishes. I wanted to understand one thing.

When you apply for any opportunity, how well versed should you be with all the things mentioned in a JD, like certification, experience, some tools and technology, coding language. Do you see a 100% fit before you apply or go for the opportunity if you see the responsibilities meeting your expectation and know only like 60% of the expected or desired skills.

Have you been selected if in case you applied knowing you meet less criterias?

Joined Ericsson a year ago. Learned new things but not enough. Thinking of leaving it and join some other org. What do you think? I wanted some on-site opportunities but so far nothing.
I know the raise will be in between 5-10%. But the part I missed the most is learning. I can use their portal but that is all theory and can’t do much if they don’t provide the time for it .
Let me know in comments.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

I've been having a little trouble finding work. No one hires for graphic designer. Where is a good place to find work other than fiver.... How does my work look, a book cover I designed.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
