Are you thinking of switching careers from UX into Finance as an analyst or switching industries to doing UX work for a financial services company?

😆 No. The bonus part yes, the finance part no.

To be honest I’m not that familiar with an analysts responsibilities but I’m assuming it’s quite a leap away from UX right? As far as doing UX at. Finance company, I’ve heard the work is pretty boring. But is that true? Does the compensation make up for it? I’ve heard Goldman Sachs’s gives its designers bonuses but what has been your exp?

I’ve had 8-10% annual bonus if I meet my departmental goals as a UX practitioner jn the financial services industry. Every employer is different though, and if you are made an offer then the employer should communicate annual bonus at that time.
As for boring, it depends on you and the work. Some people like the transactional nature of the role and supplement with designing w an emphasis on service design or user research. What you should ask yourself is what aspect of UX do you like the best? What do you need to grow in and can you get it from the financial services sector?

Depends on the market and type of role (insurance, bank, loan lender) within financial services. What market/city are you in?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.

I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
