Don’t suppose you’d be interested in PA would you?

Here is a piece of advice - keep going and do nothing differently. Often times we place self blame when it could be a number of externalities.

Could be your resume, relevant experience, slowdowns at the companies/sector you are applying although I think FB over indexes on slowdowns because it skews towards tech. I am in industrials and haven't seen any slowdown.

I received an average of 2 inbound recruiter messages / week all year until about 4-5 weeks ago... 0 since then. I work in tech, and the slowdown is definitely real!

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
