Anyone here work in UX design? I'm thinking of switching careers and wondering what your experience in UX design is? What courses are the best to take, etc.

UX design involves wearing a lot of hats and having multiple skill sets alongside basic design knowledge. It keeps you on your toes, especially if you don't work in-house for a single company. So, in my experience, I need to know a lot about marketing, design, technology, and even some psychology behind the marketing. Overall I love what I do and want to keep on this path for a while, so if you're interested, there are lots of degree programs and certifications, but you don't always need those to get a UX design job.

I think you're getting some great insight from D1 there. I would also add that a lot of UX design is understanding human behavior, researching and being able to implement that within the design.

Had a friend in grad school whose day job was as a UX designer. He was very multi-talented. Great at tech, but also killer at design, writing, etc.

Hi. I’m in need of advice and encouragement. I’m currently working as a public defender(2nd year) but I would love to pursue a solo private practice. I would like to leave the public defender because I am ready to make more money and I am no longer feeling the fulfillment I once felt. I have a family and work-life balance is a priority. What is a good way to gain experience in other areas of law as a solo practitioner? What areas of law are best for maintaining a work-life balance?

Looking for advice:
My dept has 2 directors. One is so rude. The other ignores the issue. The previous HR director told me to report any issues because she was building a case (not appropriate info to share, I know). She's since left and there's a new HR director. This rude guy has recently sent me several very rude things through email and I'm debating how to handle it. Is it worth it to talk to HR? Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?
