In one of my previous jobs, I experienced something that deeply impacted me. I worked 10 hours a day, was available on weekends, answered calls without prior notice, and fulfilled the responsibilities of three distinct roles. Despite my relentless dedication, it was never enough for my superiors. This experience leads me to reflect on a critical issue in the workplace: Burnout.
Cuando se trata de desarrollar un producto digital exitoso, tener el equipo adecuado cumpliendo los roles adecuados es esencial para alcanzar el éxito.
You got the job you wanted and after feeling like the happiest person in the world, a little voice in your head says: Do I deserve it? What if they saw more potential in me than I have? What if I'm a fraud?
When you are taking your first steps (and not so first) in the UX world, there comes a time when you ask yourself: Do I want to project myself long-term as a UX Designer? Where do I see myself in a few years? And let me tell you that it is the healthiest thing you can do. When in doubt, my recommendation will always be to "question everything". That way, even if you end up choosing to stay in the same place you are, you will know that you decided it with conviction and confidence.
I have the remedy for this juncture. It is about two factors: information and self-knowledge. As the word says, self-knowledge is something that only you can do for yourself, but I can help you with the information. When we have all the cards on the table, and all the possible options in one place, we can make better decisions. Your task is to think about what of all this resonates with you. Shall we start?
What does this mean? Ideally, we should know what to say about ourselves, what to highlight about our work experience, and how to answer basic questions. The secret? Know yourself, write, rehearse, and trust yourself.
From a UX/UI course at Coderhouse to being a Ssr UX/UI Designer in a multinational. That is what I got by applying what for me were the best practices to get a job and make a career in the world of UX.
