It would appear you are needlessly aggressive, anti-social and everyone thinks you're an idiot.
Surely there would be no place in the US for someone like you ?:p

Here's some advice - grow up.
Dinky, a cat who's probably pretty hooked up in NY, given that he's works at Ogilvy (assuming that's current), gave you an honest assesment of your portfolio (assuming THAT was current), and you behave like that? If someone is in a position to help you, you listen and learn from them, rather than piss in their hat and make gay jokes.
Dinky was absolutely correct. This business is about who you know, and the relationships you can grow. You'll have no chance of landing a gig on this shore if you don't figure that out, and be so extraordinarily talented that a company will spend the money to get you here.
If you were "just out of uni" a few years ago, and this is your networking strategy, you have some sad news facing you. Not gonna happen.
I'd recommend educating yourself on every US based creative shop, the work they do, who works there, and how they like their asshole licked, cuz that's what it's going to take.
Frankly, I hope this is a learning experience.- now he is gonna stalk me at work...********

someone needs to figure out a system where a UK resident and a US resident can just switch places - provided their industry and income level is approximately the same.

Guys, what's up with you being so mean, talking about burning bridges, etc... isn't it a bit over the top? Having a stressful week?
C'mon, relax... Honestly, MrDinky started talking about something liveforever wasn't interested to hear or asked opinion about. I can see why that could piss liveforever.. Just imagine yourself wanting to get some info on how to find work in another country, and you get responses like "with a portfolio like yours, you can shut the fuck up and forget about it. We don't need people like you."... would you feel good? No, really? Add a certain temper on top and you'll get what we have. The guy could get offended and shut the fuck up, but he chose not to. Why is he to blame? Most designers have huge egos.
Dinky, if you're smarter, more powerful, with connections -- why waste so much energy on a stupid guy? Forget it.I don't even know why i'm writing this... but i guess it triggered something... Plus, i think it's lame to base responses on a portfolio to non-portfolio related questions. Half of people here have qbn.com and google.com as their websites... does it make them look cooler? Would liveforever get the same response if he had google.com set in profile from beginning?
I have a feeling something stinks about this.- right now I just think is pure innocent fun... and not wasting energy.
joseprieto - right now maybe, but look how it started.arseni
- well yeah.... it was a little hate... guys dont hate okjoseprieto
- i absolutely agreedkmb

The thread is funny as fuck.
Dinky you were wrong but as you said "Honest"
liveforever you are waaay too touchy and need to chill the fuck out.... I couldn't believe you responded in that way off the bat....Some people are too sensitive
