Got few questions regarding LTI and business analyst role. 1:Does anyone have any idea how many rounds are normally conducted for LTI business analyst interview. 2.How how many days they take normally to release offer. 3. How much should i expect /ask for 4.8 yoe for business analyst role.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

Done with final interview round of BCG for lateral placements and the HR has asked for a call for communicating final result. Generally they do this for communicating yes or no? Super anxious!

Anyone have any insight on the decision making process internally. Like I met with 5 people…is there a grading system the team uses or do you have to have sign off from all interviewers or 4/5? Etc…

Hi everyone I had recently joined tcs on 10th August. Can anybody let me know what is the procedure to fill the timesheet allocated to the project yesterday but the task was not assigned yet.

Confession: sometimes, when the owner leaves the exam room, I vent to the pet about how annoying their owner is.

Steve Wozniak isn't afraid to critique Apple devices, and said he couldn't tell the difference between the newly released iPhone 13 and its predecessor, the iPhone 12.

Need help, I have relevant experience and good reputation among team. I want promotion in this cycle to manager level but the thing is the seniors I have, managers and senior managers are with PwC SDC for long time, so they are not ready to promote me with 4.5 years of experience. Can you please guide me on how can make it work?

Hi. Can I bounce some ideas for a spot off one of ya?

Art Directors. How protective are you of your references and resources? I have a folder with lot’s of textures, mockups that I’ve spent time building. I even paid for some of those assets. So I always get a lot of compliments on my comps and decks. Sometimes someone ask for my files and I really don’t want to since I put so much effort on that. But I also feel bad being gatekeeper of things.

Any book or podcast recos for introverts to work on their leadership?

ISO an ACD of visual design for our Nike client! Fully remote, but willing to work on PST hours. Must have a book with projects that include typographic variation, motion samples, systematic brand visualization, digital UI design and design driven campaigns. Hit me up if this sounds like you!

Looking for a mid level CW based in Singapore. PM me your books! (And yes I get a referral in case you ask)

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

Has anyone worked as an AD or CW at knixwear? Would love to know if it’s a solid internal shop with agency-experienced creatives

Feel like I wasted a year learning UX.
I'm a graphic designer with 8 years of experience in brand design and visual comm
Finished 2 certifications in ux design


But now if I apply to UX or UI design roles obviously I am not that experienced.
Which means I need to take a pay cut starting as a junior ux.

Are there any designers in the middle who add skills while they work like UX?

Which roles should I apply to now?
My expectations are atleast something between $90-110k 🇨🇦

Please advise.

I love Instagram, I really do! But sometimes I feel that as a creative the thought of "sticking" to an aesthetic makes me cringe! I feel that art & inspo should be free flowing - not confined to a box

Has anyone burned some bridges yet? Just curious 😏
