In this AMA, Amy and Laura (or maybe her doppelgänger) answer some listener-submitted questions.
- Hiring managers want UX rock stars, so how do you get hired if you've had the misfortune of working in places where you weren’t supported or were underutilized, and didn't get to have much impact or work on cool stuff?
- How do you describe work impact on your resume if it's not tracked or measured, a project got canceled, or you got laid off and don't know what happened?
- What should specialist designers do in a job market that favors generalists and visual design skills? Is a generalist path still viable?
- A role for Senior UXR at Amazon wants 6+ years leading research projects with demonstrated impact. Would academic research count toward this?
- I was recently interviewing for a job and the salary I discussed with the recruiter was $105K-$110K CAD. I got the job and now they’re offering me $82K-$90K CAD. Is there a way to re-negotiate this offer?
- What’s your take on engaging with LinkedIn content that's critical about the inhumanities of the job search?
Bonus: find out how Laura really feels about Figma.
