Curious to hear others experiences with their Product Managers. What are some nightmares you’ve dealt with?

Which cities or states would recommend to move to for Cleared Tech Professionals?

Besides DC, MD and VA. Currently live in that area now.

Damn you stress canker sore. Damn. You. Pain. The pain.

Bangalore AC. Senior Associate 2. What's the salary band?

I'm currently interviewing for Director of Digital Marketing and Demand Gen roles. I have all the competencies required and can demonstrate all the skills through examples from my experience.

The issue I keep getting stuck at is my lack of people management experience. I have some people management from early roles, led project teams, agencies, and currently mentor people in the company. However the feedback is always lack of people mgmt exp.

Any tips on getting how to flip the narrative?

This is great! Glad someone did this

Hi There, I’m a Senior freelance Digital PM/Producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I figure with remote work being the norm now, there would be more opportunity to collaborate with US agencies. Has anyone had the experience of doing this? I know some agencies have strict hiring protocol but I am incorporated. Any advice would help! Thank you

Anyone working within AML or compliance? I am finishing my internship soon within OLG as an AML specialist and looking for any tips for where to go from here.

Looking to get a permanent position with AML using my experience or any other pathway

Hi Fishes,
After one year of internship in Intel, what CTC can I expect if I try to switch to other companies (Qualcomm,Nvidia......etc.)

Is it ok to leave ibm for salary or a package reason, yoe is 3.6 and CCTC - 10lpa and it's been 1.4 years in ibm and I have to put papers on Monday, but the only thing that is stopping me is the team and the manager, who are so cool and I was so happy here apart from ctc

I am offered by another company that is 17 lpa

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.

My brain needs a rehab now. 🥺

Edit: how do I sell this idea to Netflix? Even though it’s bizarre.

PSA, you can transfer your car loan to an interest free credit card. Got 18 months interest free with BOA and a 20k credit limit. Transferred my car loan and I am no longer paying interest

I've always had overlap on leases in the past, but this year the timing works out bizarrely. If your lease ends on July 31 but you can't move in until Aug. 1, what on earth are you supposed to do for the night in between?

Just found out I got put on an out of town job for 3 weeks when I just adopted a dog. What’s better for the dog, a dog hotel or finding a dog friendly Airbnb? Not fully sold on letting someone stay at my house to dogsit

Investing beginner here. How did you learn? Any resources that I could read/watch would be helpful. Thanks

Have you enjoyed working in UI/UX/Product design for a startup? Why or why not?

Any recommendations on tools to catalog user research findings in order to share findings and reduce duplicate studies?

For other Senior Managers, Directors and above, how do you stay on top managing your team, and also your understanding of your users? I rely on my team through the projects they work on, and the insights they arrive at through the research/design process. I rely on listening to sales calls now and then. I'm curious what other tactics you have to stay informed?

Is it normal for a Product Owner to lay out specs for how a feature should work?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. 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.

Any advice on getting started in UX?

Hii! Looking for compensation range for a mid level researcher in San Diego, California!
Do all companies provide a sign in bonus? What’s that like?

How’d you rate your company’s UX?

Interested in UX but have no experience or much knowledge about it. What kind of roles were you in before you got into UX, how did you get there, did you have to get a certification, and what does your day to day work consist of? Is it more technical, psychological or design based?

I think I may have finally had it.

A couple of decades in this field and now I want to just walk away. The grind in tech is soul-destroying, and the vast majority of the time, coworkers outside of UX have no idea what it is, what it’s for, and how it’s applied. I’m at my wits end and the constant problem is a kind of “willful misunderstanding” of our process and value.

After wasting too many years on design immature companies, It’s senselessly depressing. I’ve given away too much of myself.

I’m looking for a UX Lead for a fully remote, US agency working on top notch brands. Anyone care to DM me your site?

I am switching careers and trying to get into the field of UX design. I made it to round two of the interview process for a UX Designer position, an interview with the hiring manager for this role. I have not made it this far before, are there any standard questions that get asked in UX interviews I should be aware of? Thanks I’m advance! I want to be as prepared as possible.

What does a Technical UXR interview look like? I have my first one tomorrow! I am mostly preparing by practicing research planning and reviewing different methods, but if anyone has recommendations on how to better prepare, I would appreciate it!

My product owner doesn’t understand the value of standard practices like information architecture, use personas, and just want to get to wireframes as soon as possible. Even after a few of us demonstrating that value and the founder chiming in to agree with us. How have you all combatted this before?

Trying to get out of consulting. Ux is so watered down and I’m terrified that it’s going to stunt my growth. I’m overall just not happy. Sure, consulting pats decently but I love the field of UX and just get stuck making wireframes that the customer requests. The field is so competitive right now and I can’t seem to land another job. Struggling hard

How important was your portfolio to land your first UXR job? There are mixed messages out there...

Hey guys! I'm working on pivoting into ux research (background in product management and an MSc in marketing). Any recommendations for ux research certifications? Something that is well respected and well known and also provides a solid foundation of ux?

I joined a project that had already started and the team already settled on creating a user journey map, even though none of them are designers or in ux. I also have no experience in this field as I'm a data engineer. The user journey map was for mapping out the process for tenants finding housing assistance, so not a technical product. Given this new field and type of work, I've been having a really tough time. Anyone mind sharing what helped get you through your first ux project?

Hi everyone! I'm new here and looking to change from my current role to become a UX Designer or Researcher. I have a background in content marketing, SEO, and applied behavioural psychology. I'm wondering what kind of skill sets are required, and how people started off in the field. I'd also like to know if anyone can recommend online courses that would help me land a job in the future. Thanks!

I’m a product designer with about 5+ YOE I’m exploring courses/programs that one could take up as a mid career professional. I have a keen interest in Service Design, Behavioural Sciences, Design Research but not very sure about the opportunities. At the same time I’m open to exploring Product Mgmnt and Data science as along with design. Any recommendations?
PS: I already have a Masters in design.
