How I accelerated my career pivot
- Viya, a former accountant who engineered her path into product design and now leads design at a B2B SaaS startup developed a method called the 'Sugi Framework' that turns the traditional career-switching playbook on its head.
- Viya's approach compresses two years of design experience into just six months by avoiding wasting thousands on ineffective bootcamps and focusing on atomic skills and a systematic method.
- Viya's 'Sugi Framework' includes four steps: Bird's-eye Search, Atomic Skill Map, Peer Interview, and Push the Needle.
- The Bird's-eye Search is about understanding the demand and what's needed for your next role. It's a vital first step when exploring fresh territory.
- The Atomic Skills Map adds, trains and takes out specific skills from your toolbox to answer the question of how to stand out among a sea of checkboxes.
- In the Atomic Skills Map, every skill you've gained from current and past jobs is noted, including those that bring you joy. Then you verbalize each skill, describe what you did in the job and run it with ChatGPT.
- Peer Interview is the part of Viya's 'Sugi Framework' that involves leverage LinkedIn, Twitter, Google, and word of mouth to find people working in the design industry.
- Push the Needle is where Viya stresses the importance of momentum while your job search is ongoing, suggesting that one should leverage offers and feedback while looking for your dream role.
- The Sugi framework was created based on Viya's experience and continues to evolve through her work with aspiring designers.
- Viya's Sugi Framework and approach, featuring Bird's-eye Search, Atomic Skills Map, Peer Interview, and Push the Needle, provides an unconventional, yet effective, way to accelerate professional growth or career switch.
