Who else feels like when they go on an interview and mention that they want good WLB it’s an immediate turn-off for the interviewer? Shows how terrible work culture in the US really is.

When are you mentioning it? Is it when the recruiter asks what you’re looking for in your next role?

I feel like I get better results / more information / less pushback when I just ask about the WLB at the end of the interview, rather than state what I’m looking for 🤔

I agree. It’s better to ask as a screening question so you get more flavor than discount yourself out with competition in mind of the interviewer. Subtle shift.

Completely agree!

Concerned and don't know where to turn. Hired 3 mo. ago, recently assigned to a project a mo. ago which I haven't started because of pending info on the client side. I'm over my CED allotted hours, completed all MCD trainings and have nothing left to do while I wait. I'm a person of integrity and feel like I'm here receving an unearned paycheck. I'd rather be applying myself on my engagement, and feel uncomfortable charging any charge code. Also concerned for utilz not billing client hours. 😕

Feeling super anxious about a position I interviewed for last week.

Trying to transition into a UX/Product Design role, mostly because I find it more interesting. I don’t have experience on a UX/Product specific team though. I’ve been in small design shops and agencies where I’ve had to be involved in a large range of projects from web design all the way to interior design due to a small team. I’m tired of having to be a “jack of all trades”. I’ve been applying to jobs but haven’t had much luck. Any advice on making the transition and on application process?
