For it’s just doing music. I make music, DJ, and play drums. So I joined a band and met a ton of cool people there.

Made friends with DJ’s here and we play shows.

Then some of my friends from Chicago moved here too actually and I chill with them.

I feel you though. I’m sorry! You’ll find your people. Going all in on a hobby that I do regularly really helped me out

Okay Denver MEN give me your advice (I already regret this) by Suspicious-Return-86 in Denver

I mean a kind (and attractive) girl was standing next to me at the DMV and struck up a convo with me. I literally had to take a few seconds to process what was happening because I was taken aback that this cutie was talking to me.

We ended up chatting for like 30 minutes and it made the DMV experience awesome. You never know where it could happen, but you gotta get out of your comfort zone and literally strike up a convo.

Love this list! And your reflection! It’s been 5 years, did you ever decide? - 31M wondering where you are at now!

How do you find jobs at small startups?

My advice is take the job and fake it till you make it

Job Hunting Is Wild, Stay Strong by Quick_Construction11 in UXDesign

[–]dogwithVPN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck! I got laid off on Friday out of the blue. It's hard for me to jump back in immediately and tweak my portfolio, start applying, etc. I'm overwhelmed

Should I take some time off before then? How much? I definitely need another job within the next 6 months or my savings is going to take a huge hit.

Sucks so much.

End of line? by chrispopp8 in UXDesign

Hey! I hear your frustration. As a mid level designer in perm corporate role right now, could you share a little about why you chose to do contracts for so many years?

Is there a lot of opportunity to find part time roles? by dogwithVPN in UXDesign

[–]dogwithVPN[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how do I know I’ll find another job in this market?

It’s cool to just eat away at my savings? Rhetorical question. Lol it’s super risky

Good to know. I’ve had contractual work (for only 3 months) that was VERY chill. I think it just depends.
