hey there, do you think you can make a video on the state of the job market for design right now? i've been out of work and i feel like every interview i go to im competing with so many people :/

[@vaexperience]

Is there anything in particular you need insights on though?

[@jaja1279]

​@@vaexperience Hi, I would like to know if and when is the job market going to improve. I know this is highly speculative but maybe you could give us some data-based insights :)

[@chienb]

@@jaja1279it’s basically a numbers game now in the US. I’ve been looking since Mar, hundreds of applications only handful of interviews. 5+ yrs of experience. Super competitive for fully remote, while bootcamps are still pumping out new grads further saturating the market. Supply>>>demand by a lot right now. Probably wise to pivot asap

[@che6820]

Very nice ... Can you please also mention from where we can learn management skills?

[@EugenieZhytnik-di9pi]

Hey, great video! Would be nice to know more about design management tools, strategies and hard skills for a DM.

[@martinireads]

Are there any resources that you used to help you improve your management skills? Do you have any recommendations on things that helped you become a better manger?

[@vaexperience]

Books primarily (check my videos for ux leadership books), observing and emulating effective managers within business and also learning from my own and my bosses' mistakes, also getting mentorship and advice from a lot of people throughout the journey.

I personally think it is just a title. I do UX and UI work at my product design job.
