AMA - 19 years experienced VP

As a junior person, I miss chit chatting with my peers without thinking much. Because as a leader, I need to talk less and listen more.

As a leader I enjoy the visibility at work at any given point of time. Be it product direction, organisation changes etc. helps me to course correct my team.

It depends on which industry and how your leadership is open for innovation,

Btw imho money and innovation has no connection.

1. I changed around 11 companies so far, never sticked with a company for more than 1.5 years, get bored and at the same time I create the value propositions needed, so that my presence/absence makes a huge difference and always make sure I am learning something new(not through work)

2. WLB is a myth, following razor sharp Schedule works for me.

3. Many times

4. My first idea on patent, when I explained to seniors, they laughed at it and eventually I filed it when I joined their competitors.

My ex company filed a case against me for violating NDA

5. I don’t have any passive income, I enjoy working out, connect with startup folks and brainstorm and bought few founders idea to life. Helps me with lot of networking.

My passion to spend another 20 years in industry and become a professor. No big plans

No way.. my peer who is 35 years of experience is still doing hands on and solving tech problems at scale.

Aging doesn’t move you out, being a people manager does..

I stay away from politics, and unless it impacts me. I try to solve the issue rather creating my own maze of political game.

I generally follow agree to disagree in most of scenarios and solve problems in very objective and actionable manner

Btw I work in a product MNC and this hardware is my gig helping this startup to get their idea to life

Hardware asic design space is very narrow.. better to stick in a company for long.

Hardware folks were paid generally less

I have answered a similar question.. please go through the thread..

If you are good at something, you hardly worry about the changes in market.

Coding in absolutely not needed for UX designers.. but try to understand the nuances of tech, because you going to design for the tech devices…

Sorry.. I use this app only during evening.. I follow a well formed schedule, so that’s the reason for delay

I would like to skip it…😃

UX is very subjective and relative to a product. We can wireframe and design a experience of a same app in N number of ways.

The best way to start UX is form inspiration, on how other built it, how other handled the usability, information architecture and interaction design.

Understanding the design patterns and complexities and limitations of devices or browser is required.

And finally understanding the usage of tools like photoshop, figma etc

On other hand content writing is a skill , how to communicate a context in a simple words so that motor load to the user is reduced.

All the best..
