mg33’s “level headed” way of dick measuring... I get it. Its a trained response to need to qualify who gets to know what they are talking about.
I’ve got two years of experience on him but that doesnt mean that I have more experience. If anything, its probably different experience. More variance on industry etc and Ive been all over.. Look, even if I was a newbie, noticing that the work has become boring wouldnt be less true.
So lets dispense with assessing who gets to shake the apple cart because and get back to having a conversation about whats happening to the work and why its sapped of life.
Going bact to the heyday stuff with flash and all... we do wax nostalgic when these conversations crop up and I hink its because we were having more fun back then. The work spoke to your heart, not your requirements list.
- A heaping helping of cynicism keeps me sane. I'm 42 btw. Been at this shit since '97. We have good clients and not so good clients. And we each form opinions.BonSeff
- I'm not dick measuring cannonball. Strange that you would equate a handful of paragraphs as such.mg33
- I was just trying to level set this conversation, because, again, if someone is complaining and has a year of experience, what are they actually basing it on?mg33
- It totally is. Youre taking resumes to see who gets to discuss this topic.cannonball1978
- Props to you for having a lot of experience, whether it was good or bad. Obviously it helps to know you've been around quite a while and have amg33
- variety insights on why you think the work sucks across the industry. Is us knowing that any better or worse than knowing my perspective?mg33
- cannonball, you are 100% wrong. I just wanted to get to know what people do and how long they've done it. Jesus Christ I couldn't be more obvious.mg33
- It hasn't been bad. Advertising- there was a shitty experience. But so was working in a sheet metal factory. UX has been robotic and frankly, not creative at alcannonball1978

- And not requiring much skill beyond interpersonal skill sand an analytical mind, to be quite honest.cannonball1978
- MG33 you cant honestly expect anyone to take that backtracking seriously when taking resumes is paired with suggesting that the young element expects too much.cannonball1978
