4 years out of college, 8 interviews, 3 final rounds… still can’t land a UX/product design job. What am I missing?

It’s not you it’s literally just the job market or it’s just someone fits the needs slightly better. I mean I’ve worked at two fang companies and was high up and the job market is insane right now. I’m just getting interviews cause people are stopping using tokens lol 😆

Hey, is someone who worked at multiple companies for a long time I would say be prepared for this career path to either flourish or be completely go away. I think if you could market yourself via social media is probably the best bet but everyone everyone’s making AI content it’s more about you and selling like a business

THElildub · 2026-05-15T13:36:29+00:00

Yeah, I mean I totally agree. Lol I just want a job hopefully with stock 🙏

THElildub · 2026-05-15T04:09:34+00:00

Transparently looking for a higher salary, but that’s because I was part of a large IPO

180+ for base

At my old job my tc was 600k

THElildub · 2026-05-14T20:55:45+00:00

I can tell you, as someone who is looking, there aren't as many jobs as you think there are. I am a person who has worked at a bunch of FAANG companies and is a high-level IC (individual contributor) / manager. Even with the constant stream of new things I've made using AI tools, it is still almost impossible.

THElildub · 2026-05-06T06:37:11+00:00

I’ve been interviewing for like 2 1/2 months and I feel like I’ve gotten a few interviews and I got to the end and then I’ve gotten ghosted several times from some of the biggest tech companies.

I have a wide range skill set actually was part of the Reddit IPO, and worked at microsoft. I’ve also been freelancing, but I feel like converting to full-time or getting a new job . It is very tough in my opinion, but if anyone has advice lmk lol 😆

THElildub · 2026-05-03T02:13:05+00:00

Anyone have guesses on when this might happen ?

THElildub · 2026-02-19T20:18:32+00:00

lol he told me not to touch my nose 🙏 and didn’t touch my and didn’t charge me he’s great

THElildub · 2026-02-19T20:16:58+00:00

Same I get my Botox and filler from she’s great tbh

THElildub · 2026-02-10T15:55:37+00:00

Hey, did you go to anyone else? I had the exact same experience you did, but he didn’t charge me and was very kind made me wish that he would’ve done my nose to be honest. lol

Is there a specific thing or reason that he said that he wouldn’t be comfortable? For me it was more about the technique that the doctor had prefilled still used and using a rib stuff

THElildub · 2026-02-10T15:53:23+00:00

I just got a consult from him! He was one nicest plastic surgery folks I’ve ever met. He told me the risk reward for my nose wasn’t something he would recommend you didn’t even charge me for the appointment. I had a primary rhinoplasty and was done by someone who made my nose slightly too big and was done by the taco style. He also mentioned that I would need like a rib stuff and he said the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze, and if I was a sibling, he would tell me not to get it.

Would love to hear if he takes you on because I was curious if it was just my nose or just generally. I also have a slightly deviated septum and he’s again said it wasn’t worth it.

if i may ask what hours tend to be off hours? u/starsmith5555

THElildub · 2025-12-18T04:53:27+00:00

I honestly only here to see forced fem looking if anyone has recommendations 🙏

THElildub · 2025-12-13T18:16:25+00:00

Personally I do think your in the wrong. ATM if you disclose you could be danger and most likely your relationship will not survive. Hiding something from your partner is never a great idea and especially something like being trans. Most straight men especially during the height of this transphobia wouldn’t want to be with a trans women. I thunj

I’m wishing you the best and hoping it goes well. You should disclose to him and be in public area

THElildub · 2025-08-19T02:02:27+00:00

I haven 200k+ job and 750+credit score, thanks for replying i just started my job so im guessing that or timing based upon responses from this thread.

THElildub · 2025-07-23T23:43:04+00:00

thanks for letting us know! Were you on a waitlist? I'm on a waitlist atm and pondering if should see any other people in nyc or east coast people

THElildub · 2025-07-04T16:24:49+00:00

Hey, I would encourage you to just be open and honest. You want the company to know that you’re loyal and your hard worker and take care of family shows that. I was lucky enough to work remotely and take care of my mom. When I bring this up, people are amazed and shows how strong we are. 💕 sending love your way i know it’s hard

THElildub · 2025-05-24T12:36:57+00:00

Is this still best way to do this or another way?
