Feel like I wasted a year learning UX.
I'm a graphic designer with 8 years of experience in brand design and visual comm
Finished 2 certifications in ux design


But now if I apply to UX or UI design roles obviously I am not that experienced.
Which means I need to take a pay cut starting as a junior ux.

Are there any designers in the middle who add skills while they work like UX?

Which roles should I apply to now?
My expectations are atleast something between $90-110k 🇨🇦

Please advise.

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?
