Re-orgs happen regularly. So do layoffs. This doesn’t mean we’re done being useful, successful and viable in the job marketplace.
When I graduated from college in 1995, the last thing I imagined being was a manager in UX design, which was a relatively young field where we ensured the customers and users of our websites, apps, and software could easily use and enjoy these services. My dream was to be a professional musician — a rock star — and I pursued that goal for several years.
I got a job with a company called iXL doing front-end development and graphic design. Front-end development in 1999, at the height of the dot-com craze, was basically being able to spell “HTML.” As that job evolved, I started reading some very transformational books. One book in particular, by Louis Rosenfeld and Peter Morville, absolutely changed my life. I’m grateful to have met and gotten to know both of the book’s authors over the years.
But as I faced my 35th birthday, I found myself panicking. I was struggling to envision what the second half of my career would look like when it came to seniority, salary, fulfillment, you name it. Where do I go from here? After all, the farther up the ladder you go, the fewer positions there are — it’s just the nature of the corporate beast. There are very few C-level, chief design officer jobs.
