I’ve heard ghost writing for posts on LinkedIn is a big thing now. How do you all feel about that especially for professionals that are expected to have solid writing skills and communication skills?

Let’s suppose you use LinkedIn as a social media platform. You get 3 million followers? What even happens? Do they pay you? If not, seems like a waste of time.

I'd use that because every time I need to write a LinkedIn post I die a little.

But really linkedin is just fucking awful. people writing comedy bits in there I really want to punch them through the internet.
I don't know how they can feel good with themselves.

on the other hand some people take what they too too seriously and write essays about things nobody fucking care about like they were schollars.

And both of them are probably hiring ghost writers

Damn well-said.

I’ve done freelance writing projects in the past. You’d probably be shocked at how many people use ghostwriters. I was at least. Another consideration is that everything you see on the internet isn’t real.

About 1/3 of my income comes from ghost writing blogs and linkedin posts. It's incredibly common. I wouldn't mind as much if it was purely because it wasn't the best use of their time. Often, it's because they don't have enough knowledge of the topic to confidently write about it themselves.

Yes, and yet they present themselves as being indeed knowledgeable. It’s so false.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

How do you know you’re a good designer? I get most of my ideas from being inspired by other work and just creating what I feel looks good. I know how to use design programs. But, I don’t know if that’s enough.

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?
