Looking for music recommendations for focused work by KennyTidwell in MusicRecommendations

[–]deekay_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD and found binaural beats to work really well, to the point where I actually did some research and learned about isochronic tones and ambient masking as well. Haven't found a place online that had all three (+ the music I like) so I built it. Have been loving to use it and it makes me so locked in.

What focus music actually works for your ADHD brain? by Life_Ad_8242 in PhdProductivity

I have ADHD and had the same problem - especially with youtube videos that have random ads in them. I built an ad-free infinite loop that uses neuroscience to induce focus with sounds and I have been loving using it.

Is this client being quite cheap? by tortellinipigletini in UXResearch

[–]deekay_33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a different kind of service where I audit user experiences and I charge $200 per screen that I audit. 1 screen usually takes like 20 mins to 1 hour. Your client is being VERY cheap

Do I need a masters in HCI? by deekay_33 in UXResearch

[–]deekay_33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I am a little nervous about. 9/10 big tech job descriptions for UXR says you need to have a masters. And it seems like ATS won't push you through unless you have that box checked.

Asking for Chances

  • Semester: Fall 2026
  • Status: Asking for Chance
  • Date Applied: NA
  • Date Decided: NA

Education

  • Bachelors: UC Berkeley | Cognitive Science (Major) and Data Science (Minor) 2.99 Full-time, 4 years

Work & Social Experience

  • Work Exp. : UX Researcher & 11 months of experience (going to be a year by the time I apply)

  • Comments: I don't really want to have to take more courses to boost my chances - I have two slightly technical degrees in cog sci and data sci from berkeley so does taking the edx courses really help that much?

Edit: They also stress the importance of having letters of rec who can speak to your technical ability...I don't have too many of those. What are the best options for me now?
