    I think I might enjoy pure UX research quite a bit... I'm just a general UX designer at the moment, but I do find the research phase to be quite satisfying! But I don't know if I would want to let go of the rest... I'll continue on this broader path for a while and we'll see!

    Thank you for all your videos!!
    I’m new to the field and want to start working on projects but need to upgrade my laptop. Is there one you recommend using? Im conflicted on whether to go with a Dell XPS or get a MacBook for sketch.
    Any feedback would be much appreciated!

    • @zerotoux
      @zerotoux  4 года назад +1

      Thanks for watching Jocelyn! Hmm interesting, I don't think Sketch actually supports Windows (double check that!), so if you need it for design work, I definitely go with a MacBook. There are alternative design tools like Figma which you can run on any browser for free, though!
      If you're looking to do research, it shouldn't matter too much in the end. I just know most designers use MacBooks and if they're sharing files with you, they're going to be MacOS compatible.

It has country songwriting style on some songs, you might want to check that out. But yeah, RED is amazing from State Of Grace to Begin Again! Love that album.

    Hi Any suggestion for someone with10 years of work exp in Robotics as a Project Manager or Business Analyst. I find UX and design very interesting and want to pursue a PHD. Any advice?

    • @zerotoux
      @zerotoux  4 года назад +1

      My questions would be, are you interested in being a UXR or designer? And why a PhD?
      If you're still exploring, I suggest starting by networking and asking folks in the field what their day is like and what resonates with you better!
      If you go down the PhD route you may spend 4-7 years in your specialized field, with an opportunity to get some internships, but before landing a full time job. I may consider a Master's if you want a job but it depends on what you're looking for.

    • @zerotoux
      @zerotoux  2 года назад

      The title says SF/Bay Area (before COVID) and at the end of the video I speak about what typical means. There is no typical day I've realized since being with 7 different companies, small and large teams. So it isn't "wrong" cuz a day isn't representative.
      I haven't been part of an agency so that's going to be different as well!
