If the leadership is lacking, if they don't really care about their people that much, i'm not just talking about from the very top. If there's a hesitancy that might be a red flag, they have a kind of scramble to come up with something to make it look good. Consider that count the cost of where you land, where you accept an offer. Don't just take the word for it of the people interviewing you,. because, of course, they're going to make it sound great.

This is the last episode of 2021. After nearly two years of outlining the content for this episode and nearly two months (at time of writing) of recording and editing, here's everything I know (so far) on landing a job in UX. I hope this content is not only useful to you and anyone you know looking to land their first (or next) job in UX, but I sincerely hope this episode is greatly inspirational and even life-changing for you. I forgot to say it at the end of the episode, so Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Joyous New Year dear Defenders! Take care of yourself and each other, and I'll see you on the other side of this year with more amazing UX/Design content! 👊 Jason.
