1) non-existent most of the time, but when you meet someone who's interested in what we do and how we can work together it is quite refreshing.

2) yes. from micro-interactions to research and strategy. the idea is to try and work on every part of the process at some point. it doesn't not mean i accomplish the entire project myself, but i actively look for opportunities to try different verticals.

3) frankly i hope it dies. it does not work in terms of business alignments with the overall ad world and how it functions. i can see many opportunities for UX on the strategic front, but it ends up being seen as a production thing (wireframes give off that impression) and seen as churners and "technical" people. when a product job does come by, it ends up being reduced to something quantified with how many templates there are instead of looking at features holistically. this doesn't mean that i am jaded and haven't had my share of good runs, but the direction of the dept is oft shaped by higher ups understanding of what you do and it usually ends up "production" led. we see incremental improvements, they see one shot one kill money ops.

context: i work in asia.

Hi Fishes, I would like to know the Designation structure in Infy..which Infy Designation would be the equivalent of Senior Consultant in TCS

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
