Looking for advice - I am an internal designer at a respected agency. I work on the agencies socials, do presentation design, and help any other internal needs (logos, events, web, etc). I’m really struggling with how to present myself + tailor my portfolio as I look for the next gig as I lack any real client work. Does anyone have any advice on how to market my experience? Thank you!!

Dumbest thing you've heard a client say?

Nowadays, most of the service based companies are toughening their interviews and even after we clear the company level interview, we are being challenged with both the internal project interviews and client interviews.
This is being a red tape against getting a fair work opportunity.
Why are the orgs moving towards such hard selection process nowadays ?
Why aren't they lenient towards providing an work environment, that offers the opportunity for gradual progression of the learning curve ?

Anyone know of a good gym in charlotte for a reasonable price? About to start a long term project there and appreciate any recommendations

Hello, I have a question that needs your inputs how to handle. I am working with a post-MBA Associate on a project and this person seems to do extra work beyond what the team is asking the rest of us to do. I think during our conversations with the leadership, there were a couple of points that were brought up by the MD but that was not a concrete directive that we need to do because if it is, I would know about it from the chain email since I am staffed to the project.

Hi everyone,

I am currently looking to transition into the recruiting/TA field. I am currently working to get my Recruiting certification. I have a background in Sales, Management, Contract Renewals and Project Coordination.

Can anyone explain the potential pay structure. Ex: If I'm at about $70k annually base (hourly) with a bonus plan, how likely am I to get that at entry level? I am seeing a lot of lower base pay offers with commission bonuses. How does commission work for recruiters/TAs?

Hi Fishes,
What are horizontal and vertical project types in TCS for sap profile.

What should I be expecting for my first couple months and first project? Joining out of college soon and a bit anxious on what to expect - thanks!

Any stories of what happened AFTER you had to back out of some work because you were getting overwhelmed with what’s on your plate? I had to tell a partner I couldn’t help him with a training after initially agreeing because I was worn thin between two different deals. I’m fairly new to the firm so am a little concerned this is going to affect me reputationally, but figured it was better than blowing a client-related deadline. Fwiw he was nice about it and his training I think went fine.

Anyone else slogging through a conflicts form right now? I feel like I have no memory of half these client matters….

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!

What was the coolest project you’ve worked on or at least heard about at your firm?

Has anyone exited from tech implementation to a FAANG+ type company in a project management role? Would love to discuss further. I have 2 YoE tech implementation experience, not particularly unhappy where I am, but feel like I’ll start to hit a plateau at my current firm and would love to transition into tech industry role in 2-3 years. Is project management even the right type of role for my background I’m not even sure?

Hi Fishes, I have joined TCS recently. I am tagged to a project GSK Client in TCS. The role is about Risk Compliance (Cyber Security related). Can anyone tell me how will the role be?. Any inputs are much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Friends,
Does counter offer after accepting the offer letter of a company leads to blacklisting from the prior company who's offer has been accepted?

The Philly thread is kinda sad and slow. Share something you want to brag about!

Post 3% Conference and me and the other people at my agency who actually care about inclusion would love to start something that builds camaraderie while also raising awareness for those who are “too busy in the day to day” to care/think about this stuff. I’d love to hear stories about groups or committees you guys have at your agencies and how you were able to be seen without being labeled “the ethnic group”

Hi ,
What's the difference between Harman connected services and harman international? Do they differ in terms of benefits?

Did anyone apply resignation and then got retained back with higher package? If yes, pls tell me what is the timeline like when did they send you revise offer letter and when did you withdrawn your papers? Also is it good to revoke the paper(Heard after revoking, management might put extra pressure on you). So pls pour your views..

Is exiting going to be even tougher now since competing with tech layoff people? Ughhhh

Hello everyone!
I’m seeking advise from fishers. My brother in law is going to university next year. He was engineering (which is one of the worse decisions someone can do from my experience LOOL). I told him if anything he should do managment engineering which he got accepted to. He also got accepted to Mcmaster- information management systems. Which in my opinion you get a bit of everything! And this degree is picking up a lot of traction’s across tech. More thoughts in the comments

Hello,
I am curious about the latest challenges your company has faced in supply chain operations for the past few months. Is anyone willing to share?

Would you rather work under a PA, MD, or NP?

Does anyone in-house care about cover letters? I had an interview last week where the interviewer (a tech person and nonlawyer) said they found it odd that I submitted a cover letter. Aren’t they basically required? Or is this just a law firm thing?

Is anybody using WACOM CINTIQ Pro 24"? I am contemplating getting one but wondering if I will be able to use a mouse/tablet along with it. I heavily use InDesign and wonder if I can use a mouse/tablet when I need to without unplugging it. Thanks in advance!

Who has worked with company NDAs in the past? Not Client NDAs, but one that was put forth by the company you work for? To me, it gets real sticky with being able to show work in your book if you have signed an NDA.

But now I got an email from the interviewer asking for live links of apps and websites that are similar to theirs that I have designed before.. I am stuck... should I decline the interview? I don't have much links to send. And the ones I did were confidential and the ones that are not , are already on my website what should I do?

Hiring managers- what wows you at design presentation interviews? I’m hearing a lot of “cohesive story” and “show your process”- would love to hear stories about candidates that stood out to you.

Can we talk about how every time you’re looking for a new job or clients, it feels like it takes a calendar year to update every portfolio, website, online profile for consistency? For good measure, I even let my grandma know of the changes, but I’m sure people will still find my first school project out there somewhere…

Designers, have you ever been in a position where you’re pretty much taking the lead on all aspects of the project? I.e writing project briefs, putting together workshops with client, and on top of that you’re the one actually working the outcome of the project? I’m feeling so overwhelmed with a new project that came in and I feel like I’m pretty much the only one doing the work. And on top of that my salary doesn’t reflect the work that I’m doing.

I have just scheduled a final round interview for a design strategist role (my first two interviews were behavioral with two potential teammates and then the team lead). I was told I will be doing an “immersive” design sprint with several team members as my final interview. I have been doing as much research as possible but I still don’t really know what to expect with this? Anyone have any tips?

Is the market really bad right now or am I just getting no interviews from job applications because I suck?!

Anyone hiring in NYC?

Have an interview coming up. Torn between showing current design released to users vs new design not yet released with minor color updates that align more to the branding & look a bit nicer. Which route should I go?
