I'm a graphic designer (of 6 years) without a Pinterest board. Is that crazy? I guess it's just one of those things I kept meaning to get around to but didn't, and it's such a huge oversight when I think about it. When did you start making your Pinterest boards? I'm trying to start from scratch - would you have some ideas to share with me on how you organise your visuals according to style and relevance?

It's not a big deal. Graphic design existed long before Pinterest and will long after. If you have a process of research and reference that works for you, use it. Anybody who says you "need" a Pinterest board doesn't know what they're talking about.

Organize how you want to. There’s no rules or right way. Do what feels good for you and your use case.

Don’t over think it. It’s not that serious.

It might seem unusual, but it's definitely not crazy— I actually know many people on my art team who don't have one, and others who have beautifully curated ones. I'm not into design per se, but I've been meaning to start one too. Check out Rosanne Chan or Shanti Sparrow; their design styles and themes could help guide your board creation.

If you practice collections in-house, what do you earn and do you receive a bonus?

I have practiced for five years and make $121k as an employee of a financial services company. As the only attorney, I oversee all statewide collections efforts, from demand letter to garnishment, with a case volume of nearly 7k new cases per year, of which the majority I end up litigating. I receive only a $1k bonus per year. Is my compensation fair? My last insurance defense gig was $75k.
