I work for a large agency and I make $70k. Austin TX. I’m fairly certain I’m underpaid based on conversations with other creatives in town. FWIW.

I don’t work at an agency currently - but if you are looking for UX UI salaries - in Denver a Senior UX Designer typically makes $100k-$115k maybe more depending on the size of company. Art Director probably looking around $85k, senior graphic designer a little lower, $70-$80k.

Thank you! 🙏

“What do you guys see...a mouse or a blue screen”

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Question! I just moved(transferred) to another team of my company and received new title, graphic & creative services. I was a senior graphic designer at the previous team. What do you think about my new title? I know that title is not a big thing but why I feel like my title is downgraded here… Good thing is my jobs here at my current team are what I really wanted to do. This is amazing. I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

I feel like I'm stuck in limbo.

Not enough experience to become a Senior designer, but too much to be a junior.

And there hardly any intermediate roles out there.
