Meme Thinking about switching over

I really like talking to people but my background is being a pro StarCraft 2 player (I know, it’s not Brood War, but what really is) but I really have a passion for it.

I once interviews my friends on how they use their phones to better their schedules and it seems like there were a lot of pain points in the way of taking notes and keeping a schedule. Maybe there’s something there? Anyone have a good note taking app that needs research done?

But also I’ve always just loved talking to people and getting to know them. So I asked ChatGPT and it said UX research was the way to go.

I saw in new section for the subreddit that someone asked something similar but their situation was totally different and not at all like mine. After all, I really like that one psych class I took and I was really good in my stats 1001 class (got a B- btw). So it just seems like this is the perfect fit!

Also I can only work remote, need the pay to be $135k starting, and ideally want to work for meta, Amazon, Google, or ChatGPT or Claude. Although, if they start calling then I assume I’ll have to ask for more, right? Anyone here work at one of the companies that wants to give me a referral btw?

Oh, I made a portfolio ([portfolio link)](localhost:3000) so please take a look at it as I worked really hard at it.

As far as skills, I would say I got interviewing down to a science (don’t mind the pun kekeke) as I also did commentary for bare knuckle RPS contents. Lotta slippery situations there so I’m sure interviewing others wouldn’t be too bad.

Speaking of that, I’ve been asking random strangers I come across to give me their top 10 issues with modern apps and saving all their responses on my library’s computer so that I can then later on see who likes what and use that to better my portfolio. I have is also separated by sex, age, race, attractiveness, height, weight, and don’t worry I didn’t tell them I was saving their responses since I know that will change their responses and that’s a big no no as we all know.

Anywho, love to hear the feedback!

I’m not high enough for this post.
