Beyond UX Design

What if you won’t always have a job in tech?

What if you’re done with tech? What if tech is done with you?

This week, I welcome back UX strategist and author Debbie Levitt to discuss her latest book, “Life After Tech: Redefine Yourself and Discover New Work Opportunities.” Debbie shares her insights on the changing tech landscape and why tech professionals should start thinking about career options beyond traditional tech roles.

We explore Debbie’s motivations behind her book, including her personal experiences with job insecurity and the widespread layoffs in the tech industry. Debbie emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and planning for alternative career paths, even for those currently employed in tech. We discuss the challenges of transitioning out of tech, including salary expectations and the stigma associated with career changes.

Debbie’s book offers practical advice on diversifying income streams, reassessing personal values, and preparing for a potential life after tech. Tune in to gain a fresh perspective on your career and discover how to thrive in an ever-changing job market.
