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?

Hi. I’m UXR. Actually, for started UXR you can start to take a internship first. Because, we need to know the real case of someproduct/ services we want to create. Sometimes, someone who have a knowledge about UXR its great but it will be perfect when you have an experience to build a digital product for the portofolio.

I think that IxDF it’s one of great certification and have a cheaper than NNG.

Based on my experience, actually we have no standart for accept/decline candidate if they must attach their certifications when they’re apply position as UXR. Because actually when someone who apply UXR, we as a user always check about their previous work as UXR or their experience as Researcher and deep dive their knowledge especially about how they solve the problems and how they handle problems.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle.

I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?

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.
