UX meets Big Tech: Finding Success as an Individual Contributor in UX

Finding Success as an Individual Contributor in UX. A discussion on leading as a non-manager; with Renee Reid, Staff UX researcher at LinkedIn

What does career growth look like in UX research? Renee Reid, staff UX researcher at LinkedIn, will discuss how you can lead as a non-manager. She will shed light on a topic often left in the dark. We’re frequently told throughout our careers that managing people is the only path to success. However, not all people are fit or want to manage other people—and that’s fine! In this discussion, Renee highlights her career success and provides ways to help UX practitioners navigate a path to leadership at an individual contributor level.
