Senior Product Designer with 8 years of professional experience, 9 years of freelance experience. Got laid off Thanksgiving week and applied to about 35 jobs but did end up landing a new role that I started on the 30th of January. Took about a 10% base pay cut but there's also a 10% bonus that if eligible, will put me close to my previous role. 9 rounds total and took about a month but this included time off for the holidays. Funnily enough it was one of the first jobs I applied for.
