i could talk your ear off about the corp culture that led to this situation, but i'll spare us both! we have no style guide. the code is not modular - everything is global. when i asked if i could at least encapsulate my own feature so that it wouldn't interfere with others' code, i was told no.

i think a lot of people in hiring positions (esp at legacy corporations) just don't understand what they should be looking for with a UI/UX person. you can't just wait for the first interviewee who uses a word you haven't heard yet and hire them. it's both a science and an art. hire accordingly.
