Take home assignment question - Is it expected to ask questions about research? I received an assignment with a side note that I can ask any questions to clarify it and at the same time they recognise that the assignment lacks a lot of context and I need to make a lot of assumptions. Ideally I would like to know more info from the user interviews, but at this point I'm confused if I should ask for more context or if they are trying to see how I will solve the case with just my assumptions.

I would always ask for more context. Let them tell you clearly if they can't give you more information or want you to make do with what you have. However, asking is a good sign; it shows an inquisitive mind and a courageous employee.

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.

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.
