Currently in product design, considering a Master’s in Information Systems
I’m currently a mid/senior level in the product design/UX space, and am considering moving into information systems. I love product design, but the direction the field is going with AI has been disheartening, and I’ve been wanting to shift out of a corporate environment and into a less shareholder-based one. Information systems interests me due to the ability to work in other environments (government, school, etc) and due to a lot of overlap that exists between UX.
Has anyone here made this kind of switch? I have a liberal arts Bachelor’s degree, and while I have a lot of transferable skills (stakeholder management, design systems, documentation, bridging business and user needs, research), I don’t have any formal education in this field. Has anyone here who has a non-technical undergrad degree done an MIS, and did you feel like it was worth it?
