[Sigia-l] request for feedback re: info design challenge

[Billie Mandel]

Hi Maria - 

Sounds like an interesting opportunity - and a great position for you to
be in.  If this company is looking at hiring you, they have obviously
recognized the problem and are working on solving it.  I'd use that as a
negotiation tool.  Something to the effect of "I'd love to come on board
and work on refining the development process to include user experience
design - but only if the relevant parts of the business are committed to
making the changes necessary to implement that process."  

Then you can use your interview cycle as an opportunity to interview
*them* and make sure the right people are sufficiently committed to
working with you.  And it gives you a great reason to start taking
leadership once you get there. 

Good luck!

- Billie
