This might sound like a silly question, but would you take a Graphic Designer job that pays $20K more if it meant switching from a hybrid schedule with earlier hours to a full-time, in-office 9–5?

I would. It'd be more of a debate if I was going from full time WFH to 5 days in office. As is, you're only giving up two additional days per week for a $20k pay bump. Sounds pretty good to me.

There would be a few things for me to consider. What would my commute time look like, is it truly a 9-5 or are realistic hours more like 9-7, will the company offer any assistance with covering the commute? Depending on what my current salary is, the extra 20K could be worth it but if I'm comfortable with where my salary is right now and it allows me to pay off the things that I need to with room to spend, then it might not move me to switch

$20k is good money. You are already operating in hybrid so going to the office is not an issue and have made a schedule. But again, are there any other better perks in the new company? Any better opportunities? Consider this holistically

like

The perks are the same as the hybrid schedule. It’s just that I’m worried later that I’ll never find a hybrid job again.

I would consider if the 20k extra is worth it- is it a stressful office culture? What’s the overall office vibe? Is it a lot more responsibility than your current job? Do they have better 401k matching? How much extra will you be spending on your commute (gas, train, parking fees?) if you’re in office will you be more tempted to eat out, get coffee, etc?

I rejected the job, the vibe from the interview was so weird and it’s a company of 26 people which I don’t feel too comfortable because it’s just really small.

Sure. I’ve worked at creative jobs since 1980, and ONE hybrid job during the end of the pandemic.

Would I get that up for the price of a new motorcycle, a Caribbean cruise, a year’s worth of cable AND phone service AND a brand new laptop? Uhhhh, yeah.

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
