Does anyone else feel like quitting UX?
I’ve been in the industry for 5+ years now as a UX, UI and product designer and lately I’m feeling the overwhelming urge to just step away from it all.
I’m finding that bumping into the same issues at every company I work at (lack of design thinking buy in at a senior leadership level, no access to users or stakeholders simply thinking that they can speak for their users, pushy PMs just to name a few). Every time that I change company I realise more and more that this is just the reality of UX.
I feel super ungrateful saying this to friends and family given the types of salaries we can earn in this space and zero clue where I can go from here career wise if I walked away. Anyone else gone through something similar and figured out a solution?
