Facing UX Research Gap After 4 Years in UI/UX – Need Direction

Hi everyone,
I’m a UI/UX designer with 4 years’ experience but little hands-on UX research. I lost my job in mid-April due to downsizing and have been struggling to find work since. Bigger roles require research experience I don’t have yet. I’m looking for advice on how to quickly bridge this gap—volunteering, personal projects, or anything else. Based in Mohali with limited local options. Really need a job soon. Thanks!

Hi Fishes, I was hired by Optum as Tableau Developer in June 2021. One year passed and I was just doing support and maintenance work on Tableau dashboards (no new development). Now the company wants me to work on Power BI and convert all dashboards into it. I want to make my career in Tableau and I don't want to work on Power BI as I find it hard as compared to Tableau also less interesting. My last company also does the same thing so I left that company within 6 months. Optum
Can someone help?
