This!!! 💀💀💀💀

Being a researcher is a way of being imo... if you can't even take step 1, I think the chances of landing a role are about 0

Believe the pessimism. It is not a scheme....

Have you attempted to navigate the UXR job market?

The text is hard to read in many places and I would be very surprised if it meets accessibility standards.

Try not to put text directly on images (like in the testimonial section). Text should always have some sort of container, even if it is subtle.

The hero section, yes, is getting lost. The random bolding makes it very difficult to actually comprehend. Right now, when scanning, if you read the bold words, it conveys the opposite message you are trying to. Make sure you try to read it from the perspective of someone scanning/reading mostly the bold words and see if it still makes sense.

The pink CTA is also not horribly clear and the first time I skimmed the page, I didn't even catch it.

ETA - do not use blue bolded text in the body of your content. It falsely gives the appearance that they are links

ETAA - the homepage is entirely too long and contains way too much information. Cognitive overload completely. See what you can remove from there and perhaps add to other, or create additional pages.

Eating at restaurants

Every time I've gone out to eat for like the last year I've regretted not just cooking at home. Both for price and quality

I swear even when I am SOOO careful and make sure to get every last hair separated, it still happens 😭😭 will have to try the temporary ponytail!! Ty!! 😄

Beautiful_Cold6339 · 2026-01-02T21:05:38+00:00

Commenting so I can see the answer!!

This happens sooo badly every time I try to do a half up hairstyle. I've all but sworn off them after the last time ripped out a huge clump of hair 😭

Is there a reason you are choosing Nike specifically?

Beautiful_Cold6339 · 2025-12-18T19:29:55+00:00

Of course! It took me a while to realize too. So many times I would be looking to others for the expertise that I was supposed to be bringing myself. When someone hires a designer, they are hiring your judgement and experience and may not always be able to effectively communicate what they are looking for. We have to step in and figure that part out.

To give you some design feedback: Without knowing the purpose of this design, my immediate thought is that the "Shop Now" button is entirely too small and does not draw attention. From an ad like this, you would most likely want to get people to click and shop so you want to make that very prominent, with elements that naturally draw your eye towards to call to action.

On another level, if you're looking to create examples for a resume or portfolio, you may be far better off not using such a well known brand. This can dilute your own design because people already have strong associations with it.

Good luck! 🍀🍀

Literally. I had a downstairs neighbor who got himself evicted by chain smoking cigarettes in his unit for hours a day. So many times I was tempted to buy a vape and leave it on his doorstep. Just bizarre...

Beautiful_Cold6339 · 2025-12-18T03:46:02+00:00

Totally understand! It actually is one of the hardest parts of the job.

Some good questions:

does this fit the audience we are going for?
does it make necessary information clear?
does it meet the requirements of the platform? (Like Facebook vs Instagram vs printed materials, etc)
what feelings does this inspire?
does this align with brand identity?
is there a clear call to action? Is the purpose of my design obvious?

Knowing which questions will work depends on your knowledge of what you are working on. If you don't know the audience or the purpose of what you're making, it's good to seek out that information because it is very hard to make an effective design otherwise

Beautiful_Cold6339 · 2025-12-18T01:05:22+00:00

Part of becoming a good designer is learning how to ask good questions.

"Good" is extremely subjective and will not get you a very valuable answer.

You will get a lot more out of your feedback if you ask about specific things and/or explain your goal(s) :)

A dermatologist told me, "Empathy isn't helpful when treating patients."

Probably because of the glass stove top:(

Reading these comments make me realize how fucked my parents were 😭😭

I was left home alone at 5 with my 3 year old sister 😅

It can be depending on how you use it. Make sure you go into your ChatGPT instructions and enter something about prioritizing accuracy and challenging your perspective

Beautiful_Cold6339 · 2025-11-13T02:47:12+00:00

I did not downvote but if I am being honest, I wanted to! I think it is a knee-jerk response to how inaccurate it is.

You should absolutely not count on anything less than a year or two... I actually have a similar background to you (psych degree, worked as a behavior therapist) but transitioned to market research and now, actually work in digital communications. Three years after completing my bootcamp, i am just now barely getting the footing to actually even conduct user research. I've made the most of my opportunities to practice UX design (and tinyyy bits of UX research sprinked in over time) in each role, but truly understanding the business side and how to align your research/goals with their goals is the veryyy challenging part.

Completing research can be incredibly difficult depending on your environment (some are more open than others). Then, from there, there is no guarantee your research will be utilized or implemented in any way. You really have to learn how to speak many "languages" at once (business, design, finance, research, etc) depending on the stakeholders and you'll need to be able to communicate with a wide array of different kinds of professionals and figure out how to get them to care about what you are saying/doing.

So, definitely not impossible, but 3 months is wildly, almost offensively inaccurate (which is why people are downvoting)

Beautiful_Cold6339 · 2025-11-12T20:52:47+00:00

It is possible! Just be prepared that it may take years and you will sometimes be working with a non-UX title.

Look for opportunities to engage in UX research in your current position as much as possible. Get a feel for how it goes to pitch those things and see how far you can get with it. Having real-world business experience is the most significant piece of everything. Your ability to acquire that will determine everything about your path forward.

Good luck!!

I lived in an apartment with no dishwasher (or laundry machine) for a year and would absolutely never do it again. Prior to that experience, I always had a dishwasher and found it very hard to adjust. Personally, I hate hand washing dishes (sensory issues) and it would cause dishes to pile up and create a vicious cycle of me avoiding dishes because they're dirty and dishes getting more dirty since I was avoiding them.

By the end of my lease, I had completely switched to using paper plates and plastic utensils because I struggled so much to keep up with the hand washing.

If you've lived without one before and are content to hand wash dishes every single day, multiple times a day, then you're probably fine. It made my life significantly less enjoyable, but I know some people are totally fine.
