I’m a UX research manager looking for more…. Current place runs on toxic and I’m burnt out to the max.

I’ve been in talks with companies and wondering which would be best for my career growth, money and wlb…perhaps even recession proof?

So far the top companies (that I still like) I’ve been chatting with/ in the interview process with are:

Upstart: 1st research manager to grow the team and practice TC: 300k+

Eventbrite: Manager with potential to grow into Director TC: 300k+

Instacart: Manager & unsure of growth potential just yet TC: 200k+ (unsure of potential RSUs but would assume close to the others)

Which would you choose as the top goal company for longevity (recession proof, pay, career growth, wlb, etc)?

Current TC: 217
YOE: 6 in research, 16 in product development including research
MCOL and can stay remote for all job roles above (except maybe Airbnb)

    I think Upstart is probably a good place to be for a UX researcher. Until recently, we didn't even have a mobile website even though most people apply from their phones. And you had to sign up for a second loan with a new email address and account. It just seems like free wins all over the place for a UX manager. Kinda reminds me of when we were a 200 person company and decided to hire the first PM.

    Im not sure if an event platform is completely covid or recession-proof.

    Avoid Instacart. I know ppl in their UXR team. They're great, but the company looks in rough shape, valuation is down, IPO delayed, etc.

      Yeah I’m getting RH layoff ones right now, but I do like the people.

    Wonder why Eventbrite is so low compared to the others…they already had layoffs and are very lean at the moment…what am I missing?
