It's so hard to hit all the points they I'm trying to hit: problem definition through user research, wireframes, design exploration, usability tests, prototypes, final designs, red lines, engineering handoff, KPIs. Any advice or examples?

My father (mid 50s) is interviewing for a new engineering role and is getting discouraged when he doesn’t hear back from the recruiter after a couple days have passed since last contact.

Thoughts? I’d love to get him some info from others about this so he can relax a bit…

Am I underpaid? I have 2 YOE and was just promoted to senior analyst at a niche boutique consulting firm calculating economic damages.

I started at $76k in Fall 2020. I got bumped up to $80k in Summer 2021, but the Fall 2021 analyst class also started at $80k. We just hired a new analyst at $83k.

My salary increase from analyst -> senior analyst was 16% to $93k. Am I unreasonable for wanting to apply the 16% increase to something like 85k so I end up at like 99k?
