How can I break into the UX industry?
Hi, I am a graduate student pursuing my MS in Human-Computer Interaction/ design at Indiana University Bloomington. I am targeting positions like Product Designer/ Strategic designer/ Ux Designer/ UX researcher. I have been applying to summer internships but have not been hearing back for interviews. I was an architect in my past work life so I have a good handle on systems thinking, design and problem solving, research and critical thinking.

I wanted to know what path UX designers took to become a UX desginer
product manager
I’m about to start my first full-time job in a product role, and I’m currently interning on software and hardware for electronic consumer products (like white noise machines). I have a background in industrial design/UX design. My medium-term goal (after 2 years) is to work in a developed country like Europe, Australia, or New Zealand, for better work-life balance (WLB) and to have time for side projects. However, I’m unsure which direction to take in my career. Most product manager roles seem to rely heavily on passion, but I haven’t found a field that excites me yet. Should I continue in product management or return to design? Also, it seems that hardware-focused product roles are rare in these regions, with most opportunities in software. If I decide to stay in product management, which industry should I focus on (e.g., consumer electronics, fintech, healthtech)? Any advice for someone in my situation?
