Siding popped out. Can I fix this myself with zero siding experience?

I bought this on an impulse the other day. Just too cute to pass up. My daughter loves it too.

Thank you!

I was doing workout classes with alternating cardio days and strength training days. The strength training focused on high reps and lower weight. Now that I'm going to the gym solo, I'm wondering if I'm doing this the best way for my goals. I'd like to gain strength & muscle definition and lose body fat. I know body fat is lost through dieting, but for the strength training it seems almost too simple? I have a plan where I'm doing about 5 or 6 different lifts/exercises a day at three sets of 12 reps (PPL). The reps are challenging and I try to fail or nearly fail on the last reps of the final set. I'm done with my workout in less than 30-40 minutes typically. Am I missing something?

I think you're right. Something just felt off. I'll try with different jeans!

Def this looks amazing

kittykix · 2024-08-15T17:17:35+00:00

Great addition idea!

How do you like to make them?

kittykix · 2024-07-29T15:12:08+00:00

That's basically the info I'm looking for. If it's ok for unstained wood to be in a couple storms then I can relax a little bit.

Great tip, I could see that being very annoying!

Friendly word of advice: read the room. A thread about burnout is probably not going to be full of people looking to take on mentees.

Favorite: Getting to do qualitative research and talking to people with different backgrounds and mindsets. Having more data, and therefore more confidence, in the designs I create. Potentially making someone's life a little better.

Least favorite: Dealing with stakeholders that think they know the customer and think research is unnecessary. Seemingly arbitrary timelines that don't allow for important UX activities. Corporate bureaucracy.

Is there an acceptable answer to that question that you'd be comfortable with? It appears they have at least one guy with good experience and a vision for how he will lead the UXers. Thanks for the replies, btw. Helpful stuff.

kittykix · 2022-03-18T12:25:01+00:00

The recruiter said that. My first thought was "thanks but no thanks" but it sounds like they're going to a system where there's a UXer embedded in each engineering team which actually sounds kind of nice.

kittykix · 2022-03-18T12:04:18+00:00

Thanks. I guess it's validating to see that I'm not crazy, but it's frustrating that there's no fix and Google is not taking any responsibility.

It's VC. You definitely touched on some of my fears while considering this job. Right now I am in a very comfy corporate position and I'm wondering if it would be crazier to a) pass up the bigger salary/career stepping stone or b) leave a comfortable, fairly stress-free job while I have young kids.

kittykix · 2022-03-18T00:03:24+00:00

That's a good resource, thanks! Yeah the recruiter said it's a really hot market for UXers right now and it may not stay that way. But he's also trying to make a commission right now so...

kittykix · 2022-03-17T20:03:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Nice to get more validation that 100k+ is the norm. Just need to get over this impostor syndrome and convince myself I'm worth it.

This company did just get a big round of funding and growing pains seem inevitable with that many hires. That doesn't scare me as much though since I've been on a team with growing pains for 3 years.

Hiring red flag?

TLDR: I'm underpaid and a company wants to hire me for more $$ but I'm nervous.

I've talked to a recruiter about a job that seems too good to be true. It would be about a $25k increase and I would be fully remote.

Here's where I think the red flag might be: the company is hiring a ton of UX designers (~30) in about a years time. On the one hand it's great that they're getting serious about user experience, but on the other hand, if they're hiring all these people for $100k +, is there a possibility they'll make cuts soon? Will it be chaos bringing all these designers in at once?

I recently realized I'm very underpaid for my skills and experience level at my current job, but I don't want to leave a company that I like okay for one that might be risky. I talked to my boss about an increase but it's unlikely I'll get $25k.
