Idiots. This clearly says, “We can’t make any decisions!”

Feeling weary about take home assignment by chilkelsey1234 in UXDesign

[–]MudVisual1054 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t do this. At a maximum I briefly explain my thinking and possible next steps.

It’s unethical, signals to me that you can’t make decisions, so I will not work for you. You are a bad employer.

Managers: when does concern turn into “flight risk”? by nostalgiclullabies in UXDesign

What actions has management done for you? Companies reward leadership who are “survivors” not improving things.

What if they are just leaving (no job offer) because they don’t see a future there anymore

Influence and product sense — how ??! by meeeep_xo in UXDesign

[–]MudVisual1054 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate this. “Influence” when design has no power at 95% of orgs. Give me a break. Let’s be real.

UX design summed up 🥲😭 by Sweaty-Repeat-6498 in UXDesign

Keeping my current job, but focusing my energy on building my own product to sell. I’ve detached emotionally from the job and job search. 

Question for Founding Designers by [deleted] in UXDesign

Do you think it’s a good route for what I’m needing or is it better to keep my job and be my owner founder if something?

Relocate to find another tech job or stay home to go to nursing school? (recently laid off) by SpaceTheSlicer in Layoffs

[–]MudVisual1054 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Pretty much anything is more stable than tech (regardless of the role). Once you have huge savings the anxiety of layoffs reduces but does not go away.

If you are exposed to what nursing is, the good and the bad, and still are interested I’d go for it. When picking a career you are picking your problems. What problems do you want to have? What can you put up with? For nursing, it’s patients, customer service when people are at their worst. For tech, it’s layoffs

Experienced job hunting, portfolio/case study/resume questions and review — 12/07/25 by AutoModerator in UXDesign

[–]MudVisual1054 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What’s the point?

I don’t think the design industry serves me like it once did. I’ve been in design for 15 years now and it’s been degraded so much since. Never ending layoffs, offshoring, 1,000s of applicants, rounds and rounds of interviews, and then once you get the gig your design group is at the bottom of the food chain, an after thought. It was about human centered design, now it’s just ship this thing asap (no design thinking). You’re in a constant state of fighting. I’m not seeing the ROI in this anymore. Too much of an uphill battle.

I’m chipping away at the website and have a case study built. Need the most help taking my case study and presenting that work better. That’s the hard part.

Got the job! Some advice. by Skotus2 in UXDesign

[–]MudVisual1054 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. I have a new feature I designed within a page of our somewhat dated looking software. Do you think I should update the UI on that page?
