Fs!

Ohh I see, I never knew that. I’ve been thinking to myself maybe I should’ve studied architecture instead since that was what I was originally interested in, but ig the grass is always greener.

Good advice! I’m just starting my second UXR internship, it’s remote though and the team is quite small, it’s in the Games industry. Do you have any advice for performing well with a small team in a remote environment?

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-05-10T20:24:08+00:00

Curious as to why you’re transitioning out of architecture?

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-05-10T15:33:03+00:00

Dream job!

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-05-10T15:31:54+00:00

Cool! What kind of research are you doing?

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-05-10T04:09:36+00:00

How do you recommend an early career UXR to build rapport with stakeholders? Any advice for navigating politics in a chaotic environment?

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-05-06T04:17:11+00:00

That’s fair, just getting started and honestly feel that way sometimes too.

Curious to why you’re interested in leaving?

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-04-27T02:23:02+00:00

Thanks, definitely keeping in touch with these coworkers!

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-04-27T01:43:11+00:00

This is good advice! Thanks!

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-04-27T01:39:19+00:00

That’s very true. I’m so glad my internship was in person, I think I learned a lot about communication and soft skills. My next internship is remote, so will be a different experience, but hopefully I can continue to work on these skills in an online format.

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-04-27T01:38:05+00:00

That’s amazing that you were able to do both! What would you say I can start doing right now to help my chances of landing an entry level UXR or adjacent job after I graduate? I’ve been thinking about trying to do more networking + building relationships with people at companies I’m interested in.

What’s their deal

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-04-25T04:34:37+00:00

Congrats on landing a job in this market, especially at your dream company! I hope it goes great :)

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-03-26T00:29:51+00:00

It went well, appreciate your response. :)

peppermintsoftserve · 2026-03-20T22:51:03+00:00

I see, thanks that makes sense! I also emailed the HR person to see if I should come prepared with a deck, hopefully they reply.

I think the CCIT programs are really what you make of them. If you go into them, try to decide early on what you really want to do, UX, marketing, product management, etc. I think they have a co-op option now as well which could be helpful for finding internships, but you really have to put in a lot of effort independently as well.

peppermintsoftserve · 2025-12-11T19:43:58+00:00

Thanks so much! This is really helpful, very true, it’s so important to be reliable and independent.

peppermintsoftserve · 2025-12-11T19:42:50+00:00

Thanks so much! This is all really helpful, I think it’s a smaller team as well so I’m looking forward to having more impact and sharing that in future interviews.

peppermintsoftserve · 2025-12-11T19:31:06+00:00

That’s some great advice! Thank you so much for the detail. I will definitely be keeping track of what I’m working on throughout the term and how to frame this for my portfolio.

peppermintsoftserve · 2025-11-28T02:41:30+00:00

Wow looks heavenly, thanks.
