If they weren't hard and challenging they wouldn't be useful. That's the idea. Like when you go to the gym your exercises are suppose to be hard. The more you do the better you get, don't get discouraged! Almost no one starts out knowing all the answers, you learn them and how to find them through experience.

I never became that good at them, but I definitely became a lot better than I was in the beginning. Look for patterns, structure your practice based on either difficulty or subject matter or pattern type. Practice with people if you can. You will get there!

Hi Fellow professionals,
I am eagerly looking for a job change but I don't want to limit myself to just Marketing (I have 3 years of experience in Marketing).
What are the other job options available for me without having to start all over again? What is a lucrative business/market/industry r.n.? I would love to work for Blockchain, Defi, AI, ML or even sustainability industry but I am open to other options.
Have any of you did something similar recently and are enjoying the new job change?

Thoughts on CAIA? Difficulty, hours studied, study tips, overall experiences, etc.? I’ll be sitting for Level 1 in September.

I’m almost one year out of undergrad (econ background) so a lot of the CAIA content is new to me

What are the cons of working in UX (or UXR specifically?) The industry is pretty hyped right now and I am curious to hear perspectives on what it’s really like!

From my own experience in applied research, I’d expect that 1) selling the importance of research to stakeholders is harder than it seems and is an ongoing battle, and 2) you end up dealing 1:1 with subjects/users negativity that can be a downer if you’re not in the right mindset. Anything else to expect?
