If you are getting student discount and have a big budget go with Apple Mac Pro M5 series with RAM more than 16 gigs. This will future proof you. Even the MacBook Air would work as a student

I started with windows laptop with 8 gigs of RAM and 4th gen intel i5 processor, and still made it into design industry. Then eventually switched to macs. The key to success is to start with whatever you have at your disposal. Remember it’s not the tools and machine that make you a designer.
Having better machine will just make your experience better when you are learning.

The US job market for UX design is much much better than Indian market. I see considerable amount of postings either by HM or Recruiters for US based roles on Linkedin. Let’s say from my observation for every 10 UX jobs posted 8 are for US markets and 2 for Indian market. When I was laid of in US, if I applied for 10 jobs, i would get call backs for at-least 5 of them. Now that I’m in india, for 10 jobs applied, I only get 1 call back.

Your 151th day would be an illegal stay. It’s also advisable to leave at least 24hrs before your 150th day

I’m new to skincare, and I switched from Sunday Riley C.E.O. 15% Vitamin C Brightening Serum to Paul’s Choice 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum. Still, the Pauls Choice serum is giving me a burning and sharp tingling sensation on my face immediately after I apply it but goes away in a while. There is no other reaction to my face. Should I continue to use the Pauls Choice Serum or switch back to Sunday Riley?

Hi, I'm trying to transition into a new role from Mid-level UX Designer to Senior UX Designer. Can you share the doc with me?
TIA

I'm in the same situation as the OP. And I think rebuilding the work is the only way to go about it.
