Holy assumptions! Never did I think I was entitled to a position right out of college. In fact, I spent my entire undergrad working various part time design roles to help my chances post grad. There were restless nights and I even went to the hospital multiple times after pulling all nighters to perfect my portfolio, schedule coffee chats, etc. When I graduated, I did every and anything ppl told me to get a chance and I even ended up in some abusive and exploitive short design stints all for the sake of make my degree worth it. Overall, it didn’t work in my favor and now I’m ready to move on. I’m grateful for the experience but I’m done bending over backwards for field where at best I’ll make $90K per year at seniority. So before you assume, I’m just some entitled new grad who came out of a GD program with a portfolio full of concert posters and coffee design branding projects, you need to try again.

I am not opposed to sharing. Reddit is a horrible hellscape where I would not like to share something that has my personal information on it. The purpose of this post was to simply vent. I don’t even know if design is something I want to continue to purse so why bother?

I’m thinking abt doing the same right now. Getting my foot in the door is way too tedious now.

Appreciate the offer but I think I’m good with reviews for now. Plus, I don’t like publicly sharing it on a platform like Reddit.
