I’m trying to document my thoughts about past experiences working in positions where I reported to the head of development. For me, this was problematic, as I was relegated to a tactical UI design role, and had to fight to get any insight or influence into the upstream, product development part of the process, where user-centered design truly begins.
I am interested in knowing how common of an experience this is among my peers, and whether it’s a worthy topic to write about if it negatively impacts a lot of professionals.
