What if your career path took an unexpected turn thanks to a chance encounter at a yoga class? In our pilot episode of "User Experience Research Confidential," we sit down with Ashley R, a former user experience researcher who found her true calling as a product manager. From studying cognitive science and animal cognition at UC San Diego, Ashley's journey is anything but ordinary. She recounts her serendipitous interaction with a former head of UX at Google that launched her into the world of user research, her initial projects at Google, and her eventual transition to the Google Play team. Now thriving in Zurich, Ashley balances a demanding career with a love for nature and skiing.
Ashley also opens up about the challenges faced by researchers in large corporations, where strict privacy guidelines and competing business goals can make it difficult to humanize user perspectives. Her reflections on her career transition from burnout at Google to a fulfilling work-life balance in Europe offer valuable insights for anyone looking to balance career aspirations with personal well-being. We delve into the superior communication skills required by researchers and the nuances of transitioning between different roles and companies, including her move from Google to the dynamic environment of Get Your Guide.
The episode doesn't just cover the serious stuff; it also highlights the passion-driven nature of researchers and the deep commitment they have to their fields. Ashley's transition from researcher to product manager underscores the importance of flexibility and adaptability in research methodologies. We wrap up with a memorable recount of a team offsite to Helsinki, showcasing the camaraderie and trust within the UX team at Get Your Guide.
