Started a new job and they gave me a 13 in MacBook Pro with 8gb. Should I ask for more ram and how much? I use indesign, photoshop and illustrator daily. I feel like it’s already running slow.

I got a pre-built gaming PC and it's been the absolute best decision. It runs worlds faster than my 13 inch MacBook air. Can have multiple Figma and Illustrator files open at a time without any delay. It has 32gb ram but that's definitely more than you should need

I have a 3 year old 16" Macbook Pro with 32GB memory. I am able to run Figma, Sketch, Slack, and a double digit number of browser tabs without issue (though Figma does sometimes strain things).

I'd ask for more memory and a large external monitor.

A desktop is incongruous to a mobile lifestyle tbh. My 2019 MacBook Pro running on a 2.3ghz 8 core i9 Intel chip with 16gb of ram and doing just fine.

My last working day in TCS is 4th of March, I have rejected the retention offer. My current CTC is 13.31 LPA in TCS YOE: 11.5. Retention offer was 18LPA. Currently I am holding offers with CapeG - 20LPA, TechMahindra - 21.5LPA, HCL - 22.5 LPA.But during my call with HR in TCS regarding retention, the HR when he heard about the companies which I am holding the offers said negative comments about those companies in a deteriorating way. I feel really bad about it 🙁

Hi Everyone. I am applying for a few design positions and I just got a response from a company that wants me to do a short video as part of a campaign. The problem is that I have 24 hours their instruction is: "An awareness video (please avoid stock video, we want to see your proficiency on Adobe After effects). Please focus on this, as this is the most important item of this assessment". So my question is. Are they being unrealistic? Also. Where can I find good stock videos? Lol
