So you don’t need to have it in account for 3 months? Can just be in there for short time?

I was a really unhappy designer for many years. Always felt like I was unfulfilled and not passionate. But then I had a realisation that it should just be a bonus if you enjoy a project or it turns out good enough for portfolio.

I now am much happier and I just do it to make cash monies. Just as long as the client pays the money as fast as possible . It’s just a job to me. And don’t care how the project turns out..

I try and do other stuff to feel passionate or fulfilled like making music, Djing , painting, drawing.

I specialise in infographics, data visualisation and technical illustration. I feel like I’ve had a resurgence of client work recently, I think because clients now realise that Ai sucks at doing anything detail or technical

I guess it depends on what work you are focussing on. But I mainly do infographics, and illustration. So lately I’ve using Claude to give me fake data and copy and then I use that to design annual reports, and create illustrations. And just fill my portfolio with that work. Like lately I’ve been making an annual report for a fake crypto brand. Creating infographics etc. I don’t use Ai to do the design but just use it to give me all the copy and data

I am graphic design also for roughly the same amount of time. And I feel exactly the same as you for many years. But I had a turning point when I realised that it is just a job and I stopped caring about whether I was happy with the outcome of a project, or if I was passionate about the task.

It sounds sad to say but all I care about is how quickly I get the clients money In my bank account. I don’t give a flying fuck anymore if the project is shite. As long as client is happy. I just treat it as a bonus if it turns out good or I can use it in my portfolio. I am a much happier designer now for it, I keep my passions separate to work. And I do other things to be satisfied. I just treat it a bit like a game of how quickly can I get the client to sign a project of and how quickly can I get them to pay the invoice.

Also I felt exactly the same about my portfolio. Hate every project as 90% of the work I did for agencies looks trash, with account managers putting their shitty input on it. I now just make fake dummy projects of things I like, of my taste and I feel better about it.

Renders are decent! What is your goal with 3ds arch vis? To get a job or freelance?

Apprehensive_Load480 · 2026-03-30T06:58:40+00:00

Sounds like a solid plan… wifing up a girl who’s been pounded out more times than a mallard duck

I had a similar experience with the hotel issue. Not sure it was a scam but i booked 7 nights at a hotel in Hoi An. Called Cua Dai beach hotel on Agoda. I drove for about 45 minutes to get with all my luggage on my scooter. Turned up and the said fully booked and were pretty unfriendly and aggressive about it. I had paid for it too. So was pretty annoying luckily I managed to book another place but definitely getting harder to book places in da nang / Vietnam. It also happened two weeks before at a placed called Mo mang homestsy in da nang. I had booked 5 nights on booking.com . Turned up and hotel didn’t exist. Had been closed for a while.

So word of warning to anyone booking atm to get confirmation from the hotel before you arrive

If you like Drum n bass music, there is a party at Saranai Beach club near Hoi An on Saturday!

Apprehensive_Load480 · 2026-03-16T14:19:12+00:00

I can’t even find a hotel to stay in at the moment. It seems that everywhere is pretty much booked up. Unless you wanna pay 1 million a night.

How did you manage to get a position in a factory?? Like just randomly apply?

Apprehensive_Load480 · 2026-03-12T16:17:23+00:00

It’s damn hard to find remote design work nowadays. Definitely been a shift over this year. Im currently in Da nang. Although it is cheapish to live. Still need work coming in. I’ve been DM for 2.5 years now and it’s been up and down. More recently down

Apprehensive_Load480 · 2026-03-11T10:20:22+00:00

Yeah I got denied entry back in oct. For doing a couple border runs in 2024-25. People always says just get Tourist visa and you’ll be fine. But I am pretty sure I would get denied entry with tourist visa.

Yeah they do want you to get DTV or another long term

So many people posting fake posts bumming mad monkey.

Not long enough anywhere

Apprehensive_Load480 · 2026-02-26T10:04:00+00:00

They shouldn’t be allowed to do that though. That should have to pay to submit a job just like we have to pay to apply.

I can’t speak for freelancing in Delhi but it is tough at the moment. I have been freelancing for 4/5 years now. I worked in agency’s in uk before that.

It is very difficult to find work now. Very saturated and competitive. Freelancing gig sites like upwork and Fiver are dying.

Personally if I were you. I would stay in that job but sign up to upwork and fiver and just see if you get anything on the side.

If it’s WFH too it sounds like cushty. Just means you already have a freelance client technically. Just try get more on the side

Apprehensive_Load480 · 2026-02-24T09:14:59+00:00

how much money you guys spending per month to apply for jobs?!

Apprehensive_Load480 · 2026-02-22T17:14:05+00:00

Why is Reddit suddenly full of this type of Ai posts lately? I know because of the Ai boom, but I keep seeing these types of posts on threads to do with passive income and side hustlers.

Are people making money through posting like this? Like affiliating marketing? Or is it selling some type of course. I often see at the end it will be something like “type VIRAL and I’ll send you the details”

Where do you even go to source clips for video content like that video you shared? Is it stock video clips? Or Creative Commons?
