José Torre: Becoming a leader on your own terms →

“Individual contributors are still very undervalued and underutilized in most companies. Especially when it comes to compensation, I imagine we end up losing a lot of great talent because they want to make more money and the only way for them to do that is to start managing other people and stop making things.”

The UX Collective is an ad-free platform that elevates unheard design voices all over the world, reaching over 382,100 designers every week. Curated by Fabricio Teixeira and Caio Braga.
