Impossible Workload

I don’t understand how some people with UX jobs would ever be able to do OE. I’m ~7 years into my UX career and I still have to pull 10 hour days just to get the job done.

UX jobs are typically “unicorn” positions where you’re expected to fulfill a variety of roles and wear a bunch of hats. Some days I’m juggling QA, research, and wireframing back-to-back. I can’t imagine having a whole other job where I’d be expected to do that too. I’d actually lose my mind, it would just be way too much work.
