UX researcher @indeed, co-organiser of Design Research Singapore. Somewhat normal, moderately geeky.

Highlights

Mar 23 · linkedin

Last night, Indeed.com laid off the vast majority of the Singapore tech office. The UX and product teams I was part of disappeared overnight, as did my role.

I've spent the last almost-three years helping teams understand the jobseeking experience, its ups and downs. But the reality of being back on the other side still hits hard. Frankly, it hurts like hell. I plan to take a break for a while, though I am still open to early conversations and one-off projects.

There are also many talented and high-performing folks at Indeed who did not deserve to be let go. Many of them are here on visas and urgently need new roles, and it's even more frustrating knowing that some were put in this position at the top of their game.

Anyone in my connections: if you have any roles I can help share across any function, especially in APAC, happy to point the best folk I know to you. If any former colleague wants a recommendation, happy to write one, or just let me know any other way I can help. Heck, let's help each other get better jobs.

Here’s a fascinating case study from Spotify on how quantitative data science and qualitative user research can work together. Best of both worlds :)
