Recruiters/CDs/general hiring folk: can you tell what platform a potential hire built their website on (squarespace, wix etc.) and does it effect your decision in any way? In the same vein, do you notice/care if portfolio sites are mobile response? Are you ever actually looking on your phone? Thank you for any/all insight!

My old boss used to say it was like talking to someone at a bar. It doesn’t matter how nice their shoes are - once you start talking you kind of know within 90seconds whether or not you want to talk to them again.

Mobile responsive*

like

If you’re an art director and/or working in integrated/ digital, it needs to be somewhat responsive. If you’re a writer, I don’t care at all. It shouldn’t be an issue these days, though. All the popular portfolio platforms are responsive.

If your site doesn't work on mobile, I get annoyed and may not remember to visit on desktop later.

Between squarespace, adobe portfolio, whatever... It doesn't matter. As long as it's easy to navigate.

However, I do slightly judge people who don't pay to get their custom url, or pay to remove the "made with Wix" or whatever. But it wouldn't stop me from hiring or recommending someone.

But an easy to navigate site that works on mobile and is filled with great work is all that matters.

in UX/digital…if you don’t know enough to make your website mobile responsive…

It’s easy enough to make a really nice responsive portfolio site, why risk anything by not just using a responsive portfolio template?

Thank u creative xoxo

I can tell the site platform when I see it, but no, it doesn’t affect my hiring.

As long as its mobile responsive and somewhat decently designed, I move on and focus on the ideas.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
