UX Pro here. Google pays senior UX folks an average $160,000 they have "degrees" from third rate Unis like Stanford and Cal Poly tech.
How dumb can they be? Do you think they will ever make any money?
- phnk 8y agoSkipping the "UX Pro" creds, I trust that the rest of your post is correct: Google has well-paid UX engineers from the best places. That's precisely what I find scary about those UX changes: they to run counter-current of everything I value in UX (clean and compact vs. bloated and spread out).
