Do not ask if the agency is doomed given the recent high-profile departures, including Nick Law, Chloe Gottleib, and Taras Wayner.

Do declare passionate love for design systems and highlight your exemplary systematic thinking abilities. Approx 7 systems per minute should do the trick

Just don’t show up.

Don't hug passionately every member of their team.
Do make eye contact.
Don't blink when you make eye contact or when you talk about design.
Do occasionally blink.
Don't yell at them.
Do, as CD above suggested, declare passionate love for design systems.
Don't declare passionate love for anything else in the room.
Do come up with some bullshit reasoning for every design decision in your book.
Don't exclaim that it's all a lie and that they are fools to believe you.
Do secretly think that for the duration of your career.

I have more but I think I should work on my portfolio instead. 😩

Negotiate a severance package.

A bunch of people not good enough to work at R/GA giving advice on what to do. Interesting.

P1 😂

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

I have had a couple of interviews with good startup product companies where the main issue is my 90 days of notice period. Most startups simply run away at the mention of 90 days NP.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?
