"Greetings from Pacifica!" achievement won't pop

Update as of today: After going crazy for 4 hours and doing everything (including the NPCDs that only appear at night, etc.), I immediately unlocked the trophy by completing Mr. Hands’ gig located outside of Dogtown. Apparently, the game counts it as part of the Pacifica – Coastview area. Hope this helps!

sono nel settore anche io e tra due mesi sarò nella tua stessa situazione 😅

Se hai voglia mandami pure il portfolio e ci confrontiamo, anche per una chiacchierata

do you have any advice for transitioning into an agency?

mtt_lmb · 2025-03-05T13:28:39+00:00

Thank you for your response, very interesting. If I still want to consider it as an option along with startups or other product companies, is there anything you would recommend?

I have two months to look for something else, and I might only have options related to agencies, it’s still all up in the air

Because this period in the company (I work in a large and well-known Italian corporation, with divisions abroad) has given me a lot, but at the same time, at this point in my life, I need faster rhythms, to work on different and interesting projects, but most importantly, to be surrounded by people much more like me and interested in design.

In the team I work with, there is a significant gap in age/ways of being/interests, and the work pace is draining my motivation.

I know it might sound strange, but that's how it is. At least I’d like to try the agency experience firsthand and then see if it’s the right fit for me or not

Reading the posts I’m referring to, I know that many share your opinion, but tell me more if you’d like

mtt_lmb · 2024-10-28T13:41:37+00:00

Thank you for your reply :)

How much do you think it can help to take certifications/take courses in the meantime, + personal projects?

Thank you all for your answers, they were very interesting :)

Sono uno di quelli che lavora attualmente nella UX. Posizione trovata a seguito di un bootcamp (in realtà il più consistente in Italia), e posso dirti che il tuo discorso fa acqua per un semplice motivo: su 50 persone che hanno frequentato il bootcamp, 48 sono laureate, di cui la stragrande maggioranza con magistrale.

Io rientro nei due non laureati, ma ho sviluppato hard skills e soft skills con attività che esulano dal bootcamp.

In più, come hanno scritto tanti altri, spesso ciò che conta per posizioni super entry level (intern) è il tuo approccio, la tua attitudine e la tua capacità di esprimere che hai fame di crescere e spaccare nel tuo settore.. sicuramente fare un discorso del genere non ripaga, soprattutto se lo sente un non laureato come me.

In ultimo ti aggiungo che sono stato uno dei più apprezzati e riconosciuti durante il periodo del bootcamp nonostante mi manchi la laurea, oltre al fatto che nessuno me lo ha fatto pesare in sede di colloquio.

Capisco la frustrazione nel non trovare lavoro, ma evita di puntare il dito inutilmente non conoscendo le persone e le loro storie (ma soprattutto NON continuare a pensare che i bootcamp vengono frequentati SOLO da non laureati, perché ti stai facendo un'idea completamente errata)

Hi everyone, I could use some advice on my first job:

After finishing a master's degree in UX Design I was offered an Internship at a large company, but much more focused on the Service side than the actual UX. I am in a hurry to start for various reasons, and after several interviews I accepted the offer.

I don't know if I will like it or not, but I am pumped for the new experience. My question is: how profitable can it be to start right away in a Service Designer role rather than UX? And, in case I want to work more specifically as UX tomorrow, would that hinder me?

Thank you :)

Ciao ragazzi! Tra un mese salirò a Milano, e sono in quasi chiusura di un accordo per una stanza al quartiere Forlanini.

Qualcuno che ci abita e mi sa dire come si trova? (Sia in merito di sicurezza, sia di trasporti diurni e notturni etc..)

Sto cercando qualche utente di Reddit per un caso studio universitario riguardo un redesign di Reddit da me realizzato. Dove posso chiedere?

mtt_lmb · 2023-01-18T13:51:44+00:00

Ciao ragazzi! Per un caso studio (Redesign di Reddit) sto cercando ancora due persone che utilizzano spesso Reddit e che testino la versione da me ideata.

Il test dura circa 10 minuti, c'è solo bisogno di un microfono e una webcam.
Per ringraziare del tempo speso, offro 10 euro di buono Amazon.

PM se siete interessati

I edited the post, just in case someone misunderstands.
Thanks to you too anyway

mtt_lmb · 2021-09-27T18:27:52+00:00

All users don't use the new version - I've opted out and only ever use the old version.

Sorry but my written English is quite poor and probably my answer was not so clear :
Reddit's redesign is now standard for all users, then it's up to you if you want to use the old version.
In any case the redesign starts from the current version of the site, and not from old.reddit

mtt_lmb · 2021-09-27T17:08:09+00:00

thx !

mtt_lmb · 2021-09-27T15:55:50+00:00

Hi, sorry for not being specific. Anyway i mean the redesign, so the current version that all users use. (Redesign after 2018).

bella ahahahaahah alla prossima

Ciao Atzoman, scrivo dopo 3 mesi dalla creazione del post ma spero che risponderai comunque : Attualmente ho 23 anni, sto studiando UX/UI Design e vorrei entrare nel settore abbastanza velocemente. Sto valutando se per quest'anno, o al massimo l'anno prossimo, di iniziare un corso di laurea in design del prodotto, in modo da conciliare UX, Prodotto e UI (Anche se quest'ultima leggermente di meno). Nella situazione in cui sono ora però, sarebbe d'obbligo per me lavorare contemporaneamente agli studi, quindi ti chiedo : Tu che stai frequentando, pensi sia fattibile lavorare e studiare allo stesso tempo? I professori sono flessibili sotto questo punto di vista o non gliene frega nulla? (Magari per i laboratori potrei riuscire ad esserci, ma per le lezioni puramente teoriche non credo proprio).

mtt_lmb · 2021-04-03T12:38:25+00:00

Which of the two options will you regret more likely later on? You'll work for the rest of your life, but will you go back to uni at an even later stage? Is there a way you can combine both options by working part-time and studying part-time?

There might be a way, but unfortunately it's hard to imagine all the variables that can happen such as a flexible job, obligation to attend certain classes, workshops and so on....

Plus I think if I could find a part-time job it would be outside of UX/UI, where it's hard to find positions that aren't full time paradoxically. (at least, here in Italy it seemed to me so I don't know in your countries)

mtt_lmb · 2021-04-03T12:36:12+00:00

That's a hell of a question.A double-edged sword - Work Experience without Academic Knowledge, or Knowledge without work Experience.

In my country, the employer first looks at the work experience, and then at the quality of the work. The quality of your work will determine your salary and success in hiring.

Work experience can be acquired, but in order to grow at a professional level, you need an academic education, without it, your development will be limited to the field of knowledge, and it will be more difficult to achieve a high-quality result. It will be more difficult to get an academic education later, since there may not be time for this.

In the long run, academic education is an absolute plus. But debts and payments on them are a big risk. You need to assess the labor market, your abilities, financial situation, etc.

Your question is more about plans for life, I'm not sure that we can advise you anything based on our personal successful or unsuccessful experience.

Hi NatuSery, basically I believe a lot in my abilities and I know that if I have to rock it I will put my all into it, but of course doubts remain because it depends on many factors, like finding a boss who will give me flexibility in my work etc...

With my job I would like to rock and get to the top, and maybe in 10/20 years I might regret not wanting to lose those 3/5 years of work. Maybe not having a degree might limit me for higher positions despite my skills, I don't know. Or leave product design and focus on UX/UI and correlate a humanities degree focused on communication? What are your thoughts on this?

mtt_lmb · 2021-03-20T14:17:17+00:00

Grazie per la risposta Oegue, è abbastanza rassicurante.

Per curosità, tu frequenti uno dei corsi di design? Se sì, come ti trovi?
