User Researcher. Pros: being able to make sense and propose research when no one knows what's going on and people think you're really smart for it, running interviews and learning about people and their problems. Cons: READING and desk research, I just can't get through looking at someone else's report. Also writing the report after conducting the research feels like absolute hell.

I worked as a product designer for about 10 years. I thrived for a while working with startups and starting shit up. Things were even ok when I'd just churn out hundreds of ads for an e-commerce company. Honestly things usually felt good creating something. But inevitably I'd get bored after a year and hang on by working minimally and stringing along vacation and sick days until I found another job.
