We are trying to create the culture and environment. It's hard to establish when we all have so much to do.
Hopefully when the company reaches its potential it can also pay even the Average Salary for a UX Designer. I am happy for now and understand the sacrifices Startups have to make.
I think it's just the distance for me. I have to drive a long ways to get here but I can't really afford to move closer or get a travel vehicle just for work.
Our team consists of A+ personalities and go getters so we all work great together. We really need to improve on collaboration more instead of feeling like one person is better or more knowledgeable than the other.
