Update 📣 Our Userlytics event has moved from May 7 to May 14


Hey Reader,

Quick update on this one. Our upcoming collab with Userlytics has been moved from May 7 → May 14 due to a scheduling shift.


Updated event details:
📅 May 14
⏰ 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET

Now that that’s out of the way, I want to remind you why this session is worth showing up for.

This is really about something I see come up all the time with researchers:

You can have strong work, solid projects, and even be a great communicator.


But when it’s time to talk through your work in an interview, it doesn’t always land the way you expect

Not because you’re not capable, but because what hiring managers are actually listening for isn’t always obvious.

That’s what we’re unpacking in this conversation.

I’ll be sitting down with a research leader at Userlytics who is actively hiring and building a team right now, and we’re going behind the scenes of how decisions are actually being made.


We’ll get into things like:

✔️ What each stage of the interview process is really assessing, from initial screen to final conversations


✔️ How hiring managers distinguish between someone who can execute and someone who can operate independently


✔️ What “owning your work end-to-end” actually looks like in practice, not just in theory


✔️ How AI is being evaluated in interviews today, and why using it at a surface level is no longer enough


✔️ Where AI is genuinely useful across the research workflow, and where your judgment still matters more

We’ll also touch on how freelance and agency experience is being viewed right now, and what actually makes that experience land.

There’s a lot that doesn’t get spelled out in job descriptions or prep guides.


This session is meant to give you a clearer picture of what’s actually happening on the other side of the table.


Event details:


📅 May 14
⏰ 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET
💻 Live session (recording available after with RSVP)

If you’ve been preparing for interviews, thinking about your next move, or trying to understand how expectations are shifting for researchers, this will give you something much more concrete to work with.

Hope to see you there!

Hey Reader, I’ve been having a lot of conversations with researchers lately and there’s a theme I keep hearing: “We’re doing the research. So why does it still feel like nobody is listening?” And honestly, it’s a challenge facing our industry right now that won’t fix itself. Because the problem is not that we don’t have enough customer data. We have more data than ever. More user interviews More surveys More behavioral analytics More feedback channels More AI tools that can help us process...

Hey Reader, We’re officially in conference season again, and honestly, this year feels different. I'm loving the side conversations, the people I randomly sit next to, and the spontaneous idea sessions that have stuck with me. Almost every conversation I’ve been having lately keeps coming back to the same thing: How AI is changing the way we research, build, collaborate, and make decisions. Not all conferences hit the same, but one that I'm really excited about is Crafted by UserTesting! It's...
