One of my employees who is a good friend of mine informed me that there's been talk of them striking over some mistreatment. He didn't mention who the mistreatment came from, I assume it was me since I'm the regional manager. How do I stop this in its tracks before it gets too convoluted?

Any insights on Maven Wave? They are an Atos company but wondering how independently they operate, culture, etc. TIA!

Okay here’s one: Guy I meet through an acquittance (old legal assistant) is interested. Him and LA had casual sex for two years, and they’re still friends. He broke it off w her and maintained a friendship bc he’s looking for substance. I don’t want to give him a date bc although she’s not a close friend, it speaks to character. I don’t think dating a guy knowing he had sex w someone I know is attractive/comforting. Would you give him a chance if he’s persistent? My take, more 🐠 in 🌊

Took my first pill of Vyvanse 20 mg this morning. Recently diagnosed. Never been on ADHD meds. What should I expect in terms of effects? Took the pill at 7 am. Its 11 am now. Dont feel anything different. Had a cup of coffee too. Any tips would be much appreciated. What should I watch out for? Trouble sleeping, racing heart, mood changes?

What about positive effects? Do you start seeing effects (increased focus) right away or it takes time?

I’m a creative account manager working on the Brand side in house. I’ve been doing Brand for 3 months. The Brand area of my company is going to be expanding and I already have a lot of work on my plate.

I want to leave/find another company but with the amount of cool working coming in & seemingly the amount of people trying to break into Brand work, how long should I try to stick it out at my current company?

Hello there!
I’m looking for any good recommendations around problem framing (books, resources, frameworks, etc.) What are you people doing to nail identifying product problems, before moving into shaping? Cheers!

Is it normal for a Product Owner to lay out specs for how a feature should work?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.

Are there any designers training in accessible UI design lately?
I'm looking to learn and ask some suggestions for an interview tomorrow.
Pretty nervous on technical questions.

Any references on what to read

Designers, what is your relationship like with your PM and Design Manager? How do you typically work together?

I work at a corporation that doesn’t think through their project requests thoroughly. They often will cancel UX/UI projects months into working on them once it goes up to the CEO and they say the business plan & marketing strategy isn’t thought out. I haven’t worked on a SINGLE product that has launched. I have been interviewing many places, but fail the interview. I’m never sure how to answer questions about impact. Hiring manager also want to see live products, which I can’t show. Any advice?

Is $180k OTE competitive compensation for a Head of Product Design? Remote role. East Coast US hours. Managing a team (hands on too) so likely not a checkbox 40h work week.

Hello! I’m currently preparing for an interview. Any idea what an entry level product designer in cyber security makes in compensation?

👋 hi! I’m hoping for advise re informational interviews or informal virtual meetings with industry peers. What’s the etiquette/ expectation? As context, I’m not job searching, just starting to think about where I’d like to be next (after about another year). Thanks in advance 🙏

Anyone hiring junior level in Chicago?

Hi! I'm new to fishbowl :)

I'm frustrated with the resources for advanced product designers to technically grow. Mentorship and critique sections with more senior people beyond working hours are exasuting thing to invest in. With I could study by myself.

Any recommendation for self-service content for advanced professionals?

Anyone know how to import Storybook elements into Figma? 🤯

Looking to hire a head of product design for a consumer internet company. Will be a team of 10-15 product designer and UX researchers. What is the most important skill/capability should they have? And how would you interview them to determine if they had that skill/capability?

Questions:
1. what do you do if your job or your interviewers ask you to take on responsibilities outside of what you want to develop your career in?

2. How do you handle double standard at work?
Example: Another designer in the same position refused to do certain work and you have to pick it up, and your supervisor plays favoritism, leaves you high and dry, and brushes you off for not being able to figure it out yourself?

I’ve been interviewing with Google since July. Passed the first interview but the team I was matched with ended up hiring someone else. Recruiter told me that she will let me know if any other opportunities arise as I’m still in the running and haven’t been rejected. I know that interviewing with google is a long process but I’m worried the longer I wait the more likely I will be rejected or just never hear back. Anyone else in this situation? How long until you got an offer?

Whats your salary, YOE and location?
I have 8 years of graphic / web design followed by 8 years of pure UX. Currently WFH but live near NYC, making 140 base / 165 total. I think I’m due for a move and looking for 175 base / 200+ total.

I have a $1200 stipend for learning at my work - Any suggestions from fellow Product Designers for recommendations?

I’m thinking so far about a UX writing course since we don’t have writers and I dictate the copy for elements as the designer.

Has anyone interviewed at Meta, and if you didn’t get the role did they provide feedback as to why?

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos. Each team's has its own process, design system, technology etc. We identified that most of the teams use and need components that were already conceptualised, designed and developed, for our other products, and we are starting to create a global set of components, a global design system that we will use on all our products. What is your approach?
