Hi, would anyone recommend a certification or legit bootcamp related to UX Research/UX design? I’m thinking about taking the Memorisely UX research bootcamp but would like to have an opinion on this prior to investing such an amount of money.
I’m a junior UI designer with a bit of UX knowledge. I have 2 years of experience working for a startup mainly focusing on UI and looking for Junior Product Designers Positions. I’m based in Montreal, Canada.

Stay away from bootcamps. The market is quite saturated and bootcamps are usually money grabbing gimmicks. Invest in expert workshops or even Nielsen Norman Group courses. Better pedigree and worth for your money.

Is it normal for a Product Owner to lay out specs for how a feature should work?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.

What is the difference between Principal Design Strategist & Design Strategist?

My current title is the latter and I’m interviewing for a Principal role.

The only nuance I got from the recruiter is that there is no actual designing in this role.

Is this a case of title inflation?

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
