After diving into UXR after graduating undergrad during covid, I realize that UXR doesn’t suit me. I don’t enjoy long qual analysis, advocating and negotiating, etc. I’m thinking of changing careers but don’t have a direction yet. Anyone have similar feelings? How do you deal with this? Any possible careers/fields to explore with UXR skills?

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.

It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.
