Bain 🐟 - I’ve been asked to complete an online “assessment” which takes 1.5 hours. Very little information provided on it. I’m an experienced hire making the move. Is anyone able to shed light on what might be involved? Does this mean I’ve passed screening or does everyone need to do this?

It’s probably the sova test - google this or ask HE for more info

(Pretty much) everyone does this. It's part of the screening process.

Damn, I thought I achieved something

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

Hiya! I am in the final round of interviews at an EdTech platform for a role that is the bridge between the Customer Support and UX/Product Design teams. I act as that bridge in my current role but on a more informal basis because it is a smaller company.

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
