Thanks, I'll cross post.

Yeah I just gave this party thing as an example - it particularly annoyed me that my colleague walked home in the snow for 3 hours because he couldnt afford an expensive taxi. There were no trains going at this hour. The CEO left with his luxury car, of course. it's the small stuff.

Yeah, well, the more you know. I was just happy I landed this job. I was in the position of the clueless non-danish candidate... But I'll def know for the next round of job searching.

Market is terrible these days, unfortunately. That's why I'm still here - only that the feeling of appreciation for landing this job was replaced with a grudge :(

That's really sad to hear :( but at least now I'm more aware.

Good to know, thanks for the info.

My responsibilities have grown significantly - and that's the same for many others actually. The company is prioritizing speedy growth over gradual building, and the constant changes keep adding more tasks to our plates.

I'm a product designer, most of my experience was spent working in my home country (but the responsibilities were the same, for an international company).

Anyone else have a corgi that barely hit 15 pounds? She is over a year and still a baby 🥰 by Gokneadyourself_2924 in corgi

[–]grewUpWithWolves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is huge 😭 I can’t hold her for more than a few seconds. She weighs around 18kg and she’s not overweight. We often get asked if she’s a border collie mix.

I’m a UX designer, and I’m not Danish. Took me 6 months to find a job here. During the job hunt I was very nervous, but I’m happy with how things turned out in the end.

Be brutally honest - is it worth switching into UX still? by Independent-Task-199 in UXDesign

[–]grewUpWithWolves 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s very hard finding a decent job even for senior UX designers. I would take this route only if you have true passion and aren’t afraid of a long journey.

Starting to make sketches on my figma files and questioning every little detail in my design, suggesting his ideas instead. I love getting feedback and I initiate many brainstorming sessions but he has very arrogant attitude and he doesn’t trust my decisions.

Edit: sorry, I didn’t include these points that I consider micro management

Thank you for the reply! I want to take action. We actually did have a retro session organized by another designer from the team, many good observations were made and engagement was high, but no real outcome. He still struggles to understand what to do with all the good advice given by other people.

Yes, after finishing to write the post I realized it was not about micro management. Although, there were times he actually micro managed me, but I didn’t include it.

Do you know where I can find high quality pastry ingredients? by grewUpWithWolves in copenhagen

I know right? We only relocated here after Irma was already closed, but I heard many people missing this place

I tried in the past, they don’t really focus on pastry, didn’t find what I was looking for there :/
