I've wanted to transition my career to illustration for a long time, but was always held back by my lack of knowledge into the actual day to day of being an illustrator. Does anyone know where I can read through experiences from real illustrators, relating to their creative vs admin work and their compensation?

Illustration is such a great creative field. I'm sure there may be plenty of resources out there for you to look into. Domestika has some interesting courses you can check out. If you know Spanish, it would be great though. Since their English translation really sucks. Wish you all the best!

I guess some of it depends on what kind of illustration you’re thinking about going into. Editorial? Children’s book? In house corporate?

like

That makes sense!! If you’re looking at editorial, you’ll probably be freelance. As an in house designer/illustrator my recommendation is to become flexible and comfortable working in a lot of different styles! That tends to be what in-house jobs want, whereas editorial wants you to have a more singular voice and style

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?
