Why wouldn't you just accept it and make $120k while you continue to look for a better role???

What level?

Yeah we have no idea what turning down 120k means without any context

Why not accepting and keep looking?

You should have accepted it and used it as a counter offer if ever you find a better role. Well, I respect your decision. Best of luck!

Oh. That's a good package. How's it doing now?

Good for you! I love that you are doing what is best for you and I truly believe that role will came along. Hang in there.

I worked as a technical PM for a medium-sized adtech company in NYC in charge of 2 technical teams, and the business intelligence team.

On Thursday I was informed by the lead PO and HR that leadership had decided that the project management office was no longer necessary for the company and all three of us, the director and the two technical PMs, were being let go. None of us were given any notice.

They offered me 2 weeks of severance pay and I negotiated it to 3.

It's always been a dream of mine to work at Google, specifically as a UX designer (currently transitioning into UX from visual design). I've been so afraid to apply to any jobs with UX title, Google or not, because I'm always doubting myself and telling myself I'm still under-qualified.

UX designers & hiring managers, what are the skills a designer must have to be "qualified" for a UX position? Keywords on resume? Certifications? Thank you all in advance!
