This is a bit of odd comment. What do you mean by looking for inspo? You’re only one who can decide what your goal is based on your values.

Do you mean to ask what people end up doing after being in the field a while? Like a career path?

Becoming Senior Designer. Just want to help people understand design and how to do things. Im a mid right now but i want to go the next level.

Also the product I’m on has been in MVP stage, things move extremely fast and design decisions changed constantly. He’s not on my team.

Bridge between Customer Support and Product Design?

Hiya! I am in the final round of interviews at an EdTech platform for a role that is the bridge between the Customer Support and UX/Product Design teams. I act as that bridge in my current role but on a more informal basis because it is a smaller company.

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.
Thank you!
