The employees do not produce much garbage. Makes collecting much easier.

Hi, UX Researcher here. I work at Google, but have applied to jobs at Meta and TikTok. Can someone explain the different level heirarchies for UX Researchers at Meta and TikTok? For example, I don't know what "Lead UX Researcher" means since that's not a job title at Google. Thanks!

What Chicago companies could compete with Google product manager pay for a similar skillset? Would really love to move back and think an offer from a local company will increase my leverage.

One possible answer used to be Citadel, but I’m not sure they find value in a product management skillet. Maybe an up-level to a company like Walgreens (in their eCom division)?

What companies offer good work life balance? I work at Google and I have a lot of flexibility: I’m officially remote 2 days a week but I can adjust my time to take care or drop offs, pickups and kids classes during office days, I can WFH if kids are sick, etc… I would love to explore other companies (either large or startups), especially in BD or marketing roles, but I’m afraid I’d lose this flexibility. Would love to hear your experience! TIA

Hey, just an idea, I use https://www.onetonline.org/ for all of my Job-Requirement Related curiosities and concerns. They might differentiate between the differences of Lead UX & Regular UX Dev., and they may also list the expected Industry Standard(s) for that class of UX Dev. Hope this helps!
