Ever wondered what your next career move should be? Are you trying to decide between practitioner and manager, debating whether to grow the UX practice at your current company or leave, deciding whether to leave a consultancy for the corporate world or a large company for a small one? The panelists have encountered these transitions and held diverse UX roles including Manager, Team Lead, Designer, Researcher and Consultant. They’ve made moves from small and large companies, including NASA, HP, IBM, Mile Two, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, End to End User Research, Synaptics and Sophic Synergistics. We will share our perspectives on transitioning between UX roles, finding the right fit, and the pros and cons of working in various roles and environments. We will facilitate a discussion with the audience, while sharing insights from our varied experiences.
