I’m interested in transitioning to UI Design and moving to the in-house side of things. Just getting burnt out as a Sr. AD in an agency. 90% of my job seems to be more about problem solving than creating new design. I’m also a process oriented person (any other Virgo creatives out there?)

Any certifications I should look into, or is self-taught on Skillshare good enough?

How do UI salaries compare to AD salaries?

Ui/ux design process is chaotic as any other process out there. Its the same ol' people working with people. In regards to salary, because ui/ux is more tech, salaries can be much much higher as you start to get into larger tech companies (ie apple)

No matter where you go, if you're an art director you're going to be problem solving 90% of the time. Might want to look for a graphic design position.

I realize that. I’m quite good at the logical/problem solving side of things which is why I’m even considering the transition. If I’m going to be doing that kind of work, it may as well come with a higher salary and built in process.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
