    Wow. Thank you, Tiffany. There's so much of value here in this video! Being clear about the reality of the market is the first step to developing a fitting strategy - akin to taking a design thinking approach to our career shifts.

      Hi Amy! Of course, so great to hear you enjoyed the content in this video. Totally agree it’s a design thinking approach - understanding the problem space before diving in with solutions!
      Thanks Amy!♥️

    Thanks for you super useful vids! Im post bootcamp and hesrtbroken I'm not hirable at the moment, considering specializing in UXR. This is helpful! ❤

      Thanks for your comment! I totally feel you. On another lens, although I’m bummed that this job market is not favorable to new UXRs atm, this industry is here to stay. Once the market opens up a little (hopefully soon..!), I’m hoping everything you do to have prepped yourself as a UXR will all be helpful! I’m already seeing more roles open up than two months ago!🤞

    That was so valuable, like a warm feeling in the heart, and I'm so glad your video was recommended to me. Today I woke up so anxious and scared about the industry. I'm about to graduate in Marketing Intelligence, and even though I also have experience with marketing in the past, I'm trying to put the pieces together and find ways to transfer skills and break into the UX world. I am not a very analytical person so that worries me a bit. And as an international student, the pressure is even higher because I have a time limitation. Hope I'll find my way there. One question, do you do individual consulting?
    Thank you so so much for your video ♡

      Hi Flavia♥️ you’re so kind! Thanks for your comment. I totally feel the overwhelming and anxious feelings trying to pivot into a new career in this tough market - I had the same exact concerns and thoughts too. I think marketing intelligence is a wonderful background with a lot of transferable skillsets to put to use in UXR. If you have a tight timeline, I think it might even be worth to start a career in marketing intelligence and make the move once the tech industry calms down a little. I have so many connections who are struggling to find a job right now despite all their years of experience in UXR. The tech market isn’t looking promising🥲 I don’t do individual consulting at this time! But I might open it up sometime soon. Stay tuned, I’m with you Flavia!♥️

    Hi 👋 how’d you rate your overall wlb as a uxr so far? I just found your channel and not sure if you talked about this already but I’m about to dive into your videos!

    • @Tifffster
      @Tifffster  Рік тому

      Hello!! :) That's a really good question. Honestly, my WLB has been beyond wonderful, but it might be dependent on company & team. Happy to share my expereince in my next video. Thanks for diving into my videos and for the question! :)

    Thanks so much for the video! Do you have advice for someone currently in undergrad interested in UX research? I have some internship experience but no "real" jobs tbh

    • @Tifffster
      @Tifffster  Рік тому +1

      Hi Evan! In undergrad, I highly suggest you explore options - Are you sure about wanting to go into UXR? How about UX Design? I think undergrad is the time to explore various professions.
      If you’re feeling pretty good about research, get yourself familiar with the basics of UXR - Nielson Norman group always has such good educational material, @Aona Yang has great content, and uxr related podcasts are great too!
      Then, jump in and try it out yourself - One way is to try to create a ux research case study on your own in school with other students. Any pain points you’ve felt as a student? I always recommend jumping in and learning on the go, once you’ve gotten the basics.
      Tl;dr: explore various career options while in undergrad! If you’re ready to jump in, get the basic understanding via online materials and get going with your case study while in school!

      ​@@Tifffster What are your favorite UX research podcasts? I haven't considered the idea of a student case study before (especially because my uni administration is very reluctant to take any ideas from students haha) but I think it's worth a shot - for the experience if nothing else!
