Hi everyone, realizing my career may be incompatible with my needs at home (I have a school age child with special needs). Any moms/dads find any companies or jobs in the UX field that are part time?

I need to be free from 2pm onwards.

first call with SF CSG Recruiter is scheduled for Senior Architect role. Appreciate insights from you all.
1. How is work life balance in CSG?
2. What is the typical billability target? Does one have to market oneself for billability or the Practice lead takes care of it?
3. Honestly- I have seen SF people pushing for products which are really not needed by clients. I can never do such a thing - so is there an expectation from the AE’s that Architects should do so?

TIA

Has anyone here been able to recover from career setbacks caused by Dot Com, 9-11, or Great Recession economy? Just turned 40 with 15 years of relevant industry experience, and my Big 4 employer brought me in at a level designed for 25 year-olds. Career progression is apparently based on time in role rather than performance, so I’ll have to spend 8 years climbing back to the level I was at pre-recession. Is there another way, or is my career stuck in neutral?

How’s SAP CDC CIAM product and prospects? Prior to acquisition by SAP, it was called Gigiya

How do I ask for a role change? I currently work as a designer for a company and when I have down time I work on social media for the company. Social media doesn’t seem to be a huge focus at the moment but there is a lot of potential in the industry. How do I go about asking to run social media full time instead?

Production feels like a constant battle to preserve the original idea against everyone‘s unnecessary creative flourishes. How do top agencies manage to turn out such well crafted work?

I love Instagram, I really do! But sometimes I feel that as a creative the thought of "sticking" to an aesthetic makes me cringe! I feel that art & inspo should be free flowing - not confined to a box

I have to stop imagining how great it will be to sell my script until it actually sells.

Starting a new job on Monday. Last time I did this I was a nervous junior with zero clue. Any tips on what I should be doing besides basic onboarding? 1:1s with the CCO? Seeing materials for the brands I’ll be working on? Anything else?

How do you start your concepting process?

Need a little perspective: Did you get faster at brainstorming ideas as you went along in your career? I’m one of the only juniors at a mostly senior agency and having trouble keeping up.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

I’m a copywriter hoping to find a designer/art director potential partner that is passionate about social change. I want to create something meaningful... anyone picking up what I’m putting down?

What’s the worst review experience you’ve had?

I’m essentially partners with a creative director. If we wanted to run off together to another agency, would we be able to go as partners? Or does my title & small experience sample hamstring us both?

What do we think about Joan?
