Getting started in a UX career is a popular topic in our community. People come to the field from so many different directions and backgrounds, and everyone has a different story. It can be a challenging road to get established in a career that will support you financially and stimulate you emotionally and academically.

How to Ask Your Questions
If you can’t make the live session but have questions, we’d love to collect them ahead of time and we’ll ask Heather on your behalf. You can submit your questions here. We’ll publish the responses (along with the full transcript) in the days following the session.
How does Ask Me Anything work?
These sessions run for approximately an hour and best of all, they don’t cost a cent. We run them in our dedicated public Slack channel. That means that there is no audio or video, but a full transcript will be posted up on here in the days following the session.
