1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?

My coworker always takes a super long lunch. How does he have the time to get anything done?

Recently found out that other people at my company (same level as me) makes more than me. Brought it up to my manager who denied it, said I am making as much as the rest of them. I don't know how to bring up the fact that I am aware others make more without naming anyone else.

I'm a budding UX Designer with no exp in the field besides one client project and some school ones. However, for 5+ years I've been a part of User Testing groups and have participated in user research interviews for different companies like Lions Gate, the Canadian Government, Pinterest, etc. I did it to make a little bit of pocket change, but it ended up teaching me about how user researchers collect data and what types of questions they ask.
