Finding Your Lane in Insights
Careers in Public Opinion Research, UXR & Data Science
How do Public Opinion Research, UXR, and Data Science each help us understand people—and what do careers in these fields look like?
Join us for a career deep dives panel exploring how these disciplines overlap, where they differ, and how they work together in research, product, and strategy. Panelists will share how they use qualitative, quantitative, and behavioral data to answer different kinds of questions, collaborate across teams, and communicate insights to stakeholders.
This session is designed for students, early-career professionals, and career-switchers interested in learning more about these paths. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of each field, how they are evolving, and what skills matter most for getting started.
