Hope everyone is having a good weekend. As UX Designers (Jr., mid-level, Sr., or Lead) what are the biggest challenges you are facing these days?

I’m consistently fact-checking that dev & product are saying the same thing, are still aligned on the same priorities and tracking against previously agreed to timelines.

Thanks and I appreciate the feedback - helps me feel connected and validated (and sane).
Have a great weekend!

Weekly Bachelor in Paradise thread: post your predictions and reactions here.

Last week, Chris crumbled and left paradise (and somehow convinced Alana to join him) after facing criticism from the peanut gallery, while everyone seemingly forgot about Brendan and Pieper.

This week, with Chris and Alana gone, will Brendan and Pieper’s chickens come home to roost? What about Joe “I totally don’t love her. Wait I dont know, maybe I still love her” Amabile?

How to make a leap from UI/UX into product design? What skills should a PD have? With 5 YOE and I still feel like a junior. I have a good eye for visual design, but I'm a bit scared of the business strategy, analytics and testing part. Where do I start to learn those skills? I know the basics of testing and conducting workshops, but I don't know how to develop those skills further. My company focuses on UI and I haven't been lucky to land a PD job. Do companies really look for all those skills?

I’m building my first iOS app. I only have experience in material design. I’m looking for easy to comprehend specs around standard design elements: headers, chips, buttons, etc. The iOS UI support material is nearly impossible to understand. Any advice for the best place to find that info? I’ve tried survival kits that aren’t very consistent. I’d also be willing to buy a quality iOS kit. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello! I’m looking for a mid-sr. product designer role in tech and hoping to connect with any recruiters or other product designers with openings on their team. I have 6 years of experience in the B2B SaaS space and over 2 focused specifically in product design (previously marketing web design). Anything helps, thank you :)

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately, the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.

I am also in the advanced stages of some lead designer positions in other companies.

However, I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?

Hi 👋 Any good UX books for senior designer level that helps with strategy, and good frameworks, or anything that will help me with my thought process? I have the basic books like don’t make me think, and 100 things. I’ll be joining a startup soon as chief designer, and will be back to being a full stack designer — I’ve been an IC for the past few years, so I definitely need to improve on strategies and maybe frameworks when it comes to UX. Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! 🙏🏻
