Lol, my portfolio would look like the phonebook at this point. So many people say they are hiring, but nobody's actually hiring me.

Haha this sounds straight up masochistic. The second I get a rejection email from a company, I'm doing everything I can to banish them from my mind - deleting all previous emails, unfollowing them on social, etc. The last thing I would want to do is spend time redesigning the logo of a place that told me I wasn't good enough to work for them.

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?

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.

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.
