I’ve been interviewing for 9 months and haven’t gotten an offer I was excited enough about. I was promoted a few months ago but feeling ready to leave my current job. Any interview tips for portfolio presentations and behavioral questions? My portfolio is in google slides - is that ok? Or worth it to move it to Figma?

Your portfolio should be on its own freestanding site. Google Slides and Figma are for developing ideas and presenting work. But they’re not the most professional way to present finished work. It would be like an eCommerce store sending you to a PDF instead of a website to buy their product.

Squarespace has good templates that make it quick and easy to build. Start a free trial and see. And make sure you get a unique URL too.
