Look into what skills you might be missing and see if you can catch up with courses or any type of certification. That is where I would begin. And remember, change is good!

Would you mind if I ask the reason for wanting the change in career? I'm also getting interested in UXD but I don't if I have the right push to do it.

Hi All,
Need suggestions here. Please help me out. I was interviewed with

Will they consider for negotiations? What’s your thoughts? IBM

working for deloitte this summer in their gps consulting practice in the dmv. Unfortunately, due to some difficult family circumstances, I believe I’ll have to move back home to Miami after college. If I do receive a return offer, is there any chance I can ask for it to be remote/be moved to the miami office? Should I make that clear to my superiors before offers are given out or will that hamper my chances at getting an offer in the first place? Thanks for the help

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?

Product Design Engineer, interviewing at Apple (Cupertino) and at Meta (Seattle/Redmond). Not at the offer stage yet, but I'm contemplating where I would relocate with family.
No idea about team/culture/stability differences yet.

The non-work factors I'm debating are:
1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.
3. Weather/region: activities

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
