You don’t use hangout at Google?

Or google meet or whatever it’s called nowadays

Your computer is like your best friend… they want you to feel loved, cherished, and the best you can on a daily basis. If that means slimming you down when dialing on your daily work calls, you best believe that’s what your best friend is going to do.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.
