Hi Fishes,

I’ve been working in service-based startups for a while as a UI/UX Designer, contributing to multiple industry projects like travel, healthcare, education, and apparel. However, I’m finding it challenging to transition to a product-based company.

Could you share any tips on how to make this switch? Specifically, what do product-based companies look for, and how can I position myself better during applications and interviews?

Would appreciate any advice or insights!

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

I need some legit feedback on what is it like to be a UXD at companies like Accenture?
They claim to do a lot of research oriented designs, as everyone. But is that really the case or it's like some other service based companies where the UX is almost vague, and happens mostly based on what the managers think to be good?

Does UX have any value or it's just drafting wireframes based on ideations by the managers and then UI designs?
