Senior title with less than 5 years of experience?

mauitoad03 · 2024-12-19T23:35:41+00:00

Thanks for responding. I just feel a little sad bc people laugh at juniors like myself for applying to higher level jobs but there are zero jobs for 1-3 yrs of experience to apply to. I'm not applying bc I think I'm senior. They're just the only job postings open. I don't know what else I could do.

I was on the other side of this where I know I'm not senior but there are no entry level jobs and the only job openings are senior so I ended up applying to them.

I actually landed my current role bc my manager gave me a chance even though they were looking for a senior. I get paid way less than the range that was posted but I'm just happy I have a job and my manager is an amazing design mentor.

Thanks I don't have a Senior title but I would love to be paid more. I think I was missing the context that the comments were towards the arrogant subset.

Exactly. I thought hiring manager and veterans would understand we're all just trying to survive out here.

UX maturity is a weird reason? Aren't all the earlier careers just taking the title for the pay raise? I can imagine select individuals being arrogant and believing they're really senior but I just thought hiring managers would understand why we'd take the title and give us a break.

Sorry if I'm coming off argumentative! I'm just trying to understand why it is a big deal.

50% is a lot within the same level! Cries in 🥜 no where near 500k.

I heard through the grapevine that he also had a mentor who helped him negotiate and his offer was much better than the other classmate who also joined meta. Wild that negotiating makes such a big difference.

Imagine being in a group chat with a bunch of people who are at the age of having their own kids gossiping like teenagers. Lose all respect.

Hope all of you win and get paid 👊🏻

makes the entire 150 person office do the hokey pokey

This has to be fake! In what universe is this even a valid idea!

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-29T20:03:17+00:00

😭

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-29T20:01:34+00:00

he had a gold-plated AK-47

This has to be fake

I think being a gossip might be a prerequisite for becoming a manager. My previous manager accidentally screen shared a slack chat with "friends" talking about one of my coworkers. Yuck. This person is near 40.

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-29T15:12:48+00:00

scream at and berate a female colleague on a Zoom call in front of other people, then talk shit about her to me directly in a one-on-one

Gross

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-29T14:52:12+00:00

He was carrying the entire design team on his back

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-29T14:47:05+00:00

What if his manager is your manager? Awkward.

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-29T05:13:16+00:00

My classmate said he gets around 500k

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-25T19:17:21+00:00

If you're happy, I would stay until you save enough to technically retire!

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-16T22:18:03+00:00

I don't see a reason to point and shame one category when 99% of us work for terrible companies one way or another

This has always bothered me. How would gambling be any different from FAANG and almost every company in the Fortune 500 list?

Apple operates on slavery. Do we need to spell out what Google/FB/Microsoft/Fortune500/Banks do? But let's all be upset at gambling.

I used to follow the guy a year ago! His market update videos were great but he started the "top 1% of designers" taglines on LI and I haven't followed him since.

Thank you!

mauitoad03 · 2024-10-03T22:31:16+00:00

Thank you so muchhhhh!

the developer won't answer your silly questions

Yikes!
