InDesign is for multi page print publishing so it’s not comparable with Sketch or Figma. Figma is far better than Sketch for digital product design for many reasons IMHO but what really sets it apart is the ability to make incredibly interactive prototypes. Sketch’s prototyping is very basic and hasn’t changed in years.

InVision is more of a prototyping / sign off tool - not a design tool. The prototyping in InVision is also very basic and it’s an additional workflow and more trouble than it’s worth.

Figma always for co-design and collaborative creation. it has a better overall management system that does versioning and handles development had off better. We use protopie for advanced animation and interaction as well as voice prototyping.

Libraries is another advantage as they can be published and used cross teams and don't require a common directory or updates to maintain.

like

InVision is more for presenting to clients than actually doing interaction design. Sketch is an enormous, slow hog of a program that makes collaborating a mess and has primitive prototyping functionally. Figma is miles better.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
