Switching Careers again -
I got into UX Design about 3-4 years ago, and I’m just not happy in the field anymore. I’m not sure if it’s the company or work itself, but I’m exhausted, disengaged at work, and honestly burnt out. So I want to go back to what I did before which was project coordination. No one talks about the guilt or feeling of failure in these cases, and wanted to hear if anyone else did the same thing! Would love to hear your stories.

Anyone else having trouble focusing today? Every time I have a long break and come back to the office I’m reminded how much I don’t like my current job. ID Associate and I have such a hard time concentrating even after a week off. I find it mind-numbing and unfulfilling. I’m never excited to come to work anymore for the past few months now. Just found out from a legal recruiter that I’m also way underpaid here. Hopeful I’ll get a job in a diff area of law or find another calling altogether.

As a neurodivergent professional one thing I’ve never figured out is how to leverage your network to get a job. Specifically, jobs that aren’t publicized widely. Do you straight up just ask?

Hey! I'm just about to start doing some freelance work for a NYC based boutique design studio, and I need to give a hiring manager my hourly rate to give his customers. I am new to UI/UX design. I have experience in graphic design, but I just completed a certificate in UI/UX design so other than school projects I don't have an extensive amount of experience. What would you suggest I should charge? I am more interested in gaining experience than needing the money, but want to be payed reasonably.

Hi! I do freelance job as a UX Designer

Any input or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.
