#56 Have you thought about career elasticity?

How elastic is your UX career?

Think about it:

✅ Your title will change.
✅ Your paycheck will fluctuate.
✅ The companies you work for won’t stay the same.

But that’s OK—because you, the core of what drives you, remains.

I’ve previously written and spoken about the seasonality of UX work—how tech companies' needs shift depending on whether they’re innovating or have already answered their big questions.

Similarly, UX career elasticity is worth exploring. It’s about shifting from rigid definitions of success to something more fluid, adaptable, and personal.

Instead of clinging to job titles or external validation, ask yourself:

💡 What energizes me?
💡 How do I make sense of where I am right now?
💡 What purpose am I contributing to—and for how long?

The outside (title, company, industry) can flex. What matters is what stays at your core.
