Hello. I am transitioning from agency UX to in-house product design roles in tech/scale up.
What are biggest skill gaps or differences I should be prepared for?

It's a much slower pace that focuses on doing things right. You'll also probably be working with an established design system and will need to make smaller incremental changes rather than "blowing up" the design. Depending on the company, you may also be covering more engineering teams than your comfortable with.

Slower paced for sure and clients are now Product managers. The one thing I’ve always loved about in-house work is growing with the product. When I did Agency work it was always a huge flurry of work and done. Next client. In-house you work with the same thing and grow it over years and to me that is very satisfying.

In-house can also be drastically different in how it’s lead. Some places are Product lead and others are Engineering lead. So your mileage may vary on your overall impact on the product.

Hi fishes,
I have been working with Cognizant for over 2 years now. The client that I’ve been working with recently asked me to apply for an internal position with them. I did so, however, now the client is saying that they are not planning to disclose this information to Cognizant and that I shouldn’t too.
I am sceptical about this situation. Can I be in trouble for joining the client’s company?

Has anyone had luck w a career coach?

I’ve been in UX for 1.5 years but have 13 YOE in operations: driving strategy, launching & supporting product while mentoring young leaders - which is where I’d like to get back to.

…(perhaps move to product? ’m in the process of building an app to demonstrate capability. )

I have no socials presence (LinkedIn etc) and would like guidance how best to navigate these waters for an effective “personal branding + job search” strategy.

Thanks in advance!
