Hi everyone. A recruiter found me on LinkedIn to interview for a position similar to my last. I have been moving forward pivoting my career into UX Design. I decided to interview for practice, and surprisingly liked some things I’ve heard.
And have been debating is it sabotage to accept or foolish to not? After a great conversation with @Urvi Bhandari, we concluded this could be a great stepping stone to get into their UX department. Ultimately, I could learn the culture, products, and network to get my foot in the UX door. I would also have financial stability to support me as I work into my new direction.
I say go for it. As long as you are up-front with them about your long term goal to move to UX design. If they are supportive, it’s a win-win. If they are not, then you know where you stand and you are just paying the bills and biding your time till you get the job you want.
