UX Monthly: Navigating the design job market in uncertain times

How did the design job market change in the last couple of years? What has changed in the perception of design and job requirements? How can candidates make sure they stand out and secure the most suitable jobs?

These and many other questions, we will discuss with our speakers, 2 hiring managers and 1 job seeker. Our goal is to see how the design job market looks from both sides and reflect on our observations.
