Is the industry in PDX just nonexistent aside from Nike? I've been looking for a job in Portland for over a year now as I'd like to make a move out there and I feel like there's no jobs ever on LinkedIn and what does pop up is such an unlivable salary or short contract stints. Is there anywhere else aside from Linkedin I should be checking? I followed every design/advertising agency I could find too.

There’s Adidas or AD agencies there. WK, WPP, instrument, hovercraft… to name a few. Or you could find a remote job

This has been my biggest deterrent for moving to Portland to. I’ve also been worried if I get into one of the few places, I could easily be laid off and have few to no alternatives

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
