What kind of user research interests you?

Moreso the qualitative side, user interviews etc sourcing/synthesising insights from actual users to feed into design, hopefully creating the best result/product

Why UXR?

From what I’ve researched / people I’ve spoken to that are in those roles or work close with people in role, it seems like the good intersection between something I would enjoy and could be good at, as well as something that is demanded

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

I think I may have finally had it.

A couple of decades in this field and now I want to just walk away.

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.
