Faced with transformation, do what you excel at or something with more development potential?

I hope my answer helps.

There are two useful tools to help you think about your concerns and find answers. One is the SWOT analysis, which looks at your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The other is the goal quadrant method, which helps you think about what's important and urgent right now. Then you can make a decision based on what you need right now.

A SWOT analysis helps you understand your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks.

The four English initials of SWOT stand for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This tool helps us assess our strengths and weaknesses and develop opportunities while minimizing threats.

Make two SWOT tables: one for product and one for UI. Identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks. For product, your strengths are experience, your weaknesses are stress and lack of familiarity, your opportunities are... What are the risks? Do the same for UI. Make a list, then observe and reflect. How can you develop by showcasing your strengths? How can you reduce threats?

The same goes for the latter. Which one can you do easily? And which one are you willing to do?

You'll find the answer.

2. The four-quadrant goal method helps us focus on what's important and urgent.

Human development, especially at work, is not determined by a single choice. It requires a longer-term perspective. For example, product design is initially stressful. However, with experience, it becomes easier.

Know your core needs. Use the four-quadrant goal method to clarify.

Draw two vertical and horizontal lines on a piece of paper to divide it into four areas. The left side of the horizontal axis represents urgent, while the right represents non-urgent; the bottom of the vertical axis represents unimportant, while the top represents important. This divides the paper into four important areas: important and urgent, important but not urgent, unimportant but urgent, and unimportant and not urgent.

We need to deal with important but not urgent things so we can prepare for the future. If we delay these things, they will become urgent. We also need to be careful not to rush things because we will regret it.

Temporary tasks that are difficult to get away from are usually unimportant but urgent. It is important to learn to say no, streamline processes, and document. Things that are neither important nor urgent are usually things that can make us relax and feel good.

We must prioritize solving the first quadrant (important and urgent matters), focus on the second quadrant (important but not urgent), and prevent falling into the third and fourth quadrants.

You can take a longer-term view. Use this goal quadrant method to see what the four quadrants are for you. Make a growth plan for your weaknesses and crisis areas. Continue to accumulate experience and improve your abilities.

For your reference. Best wishes!

Hello, I hope my suggestions help.

It's hard to choose a job because we have to push ourselves and make decisions based on our goals.

I don't know much about your work, so I can only give you a purely emotional perspective.

Emotions play a big part in choosing a job. We fear making impulsive choices that might harm our future.

We must pay attention to our emotions. We can seek help to regulate them.

In a calm state, we can make better career plans or work on our job descriptions before making a choice.

The second part is choosing a job.

One that we're good at.

We haven't tried it because we're not professional or experienced.

We can think about our own situation to make plans. For example, what is the career like, what is the pay like, what skills do you need to learn, and what will it cost or take in time to learn these skills? We can sort things out and plan. The same goes for the choice of visual sector.

If you have two options, get more information about them. Think about what you want from your work and choose based on that.

You can change your mind about your career. You can choose something you are good at or something with room for development.

We can choose what we are good at or what has better development prospects. We can also change our minds in three or five years. This is the right of every employee. We can change our work plans at different times according to our needs.

For now, it's more important to think about our own interests and hobbies to decide which type of work we prefer.

We can listen to the opinions of people around us because they know us well. They understand our personalities, skills, and more. Their opinions can be helpful.

It's recommended that you use it as a reference only. You don't have to follow one person's advice. Think about it in combination with your own situation and make a choice.

I hope you can find a better job.

Love you!

Hello. It's natural to feel a bit torn when faced with a career transition. However, it's important to remember that this is an opportunity to not only expand your career but also to choose a path that aligns with your aspirations.

Both opportunities build on your previous experience. One is more related to your major and is something you are good at, but with a little more practice, you could improve efficiency. The other one has great development potential, but you feel more pressure doing it.

Perhaps we can first examine the concept of "being good at something." Given your previous experience working on two product designs, it's understandable if you feel anxious about your ability to excel in product design.

However, product design is a relatively complex field, as it may involve a wide range of disciplines and coordination with numerous stakeholders. Some of the work content may be unfamiliar to you. In other words, the two times you worked on a product were relatively new experiences for you. It is always challenging to transition from 0 to 1, just as crossing a river by feeling your way along the stones.

It is understandable to feel pressure and anxiety when facing something new. However, these feelings do not necessarily indicate that one is not suited to the job. It is simply that complex tasks often require more time to adapt.

Perhaps it would be helpful to review what you have gained from those two product designs, apart from any feelings of tiredness or anxiety.

If you were to work on a similar project again, would you feel more at ease? It would be helpful to know whether you had access to more resources during the project, and whether you think these resources will be beneficial to you in the future.

It would be beneficial to consider whether you feel interested and fulfilled from it, and whether making products is consistent with your career aspirations. It may be helpful to evaluate the suitability of the position for you comprehensively.

You might also consider speaking with your leaders and seniors to gain their fresh perspectives and opinions.

It seems that you have a relatively good grasp of the visual aspects of the role, and you may be able to improve your efficiency by doing more. However, you didn't choose it with the same level of certainty as some of the other options, which may indicate that it doesn't fully meet some of your needs. So, what are these needs?

If it is not your long-term development goal, could you please elaborate on the kind of benefits you would gain from it as a phased goal, and whether it would help you achieve your long-term goal?

Perhaps another way to approach this is to consider whether it would be more feasible to switch from an "interactive product" to an "interactive visual" or vice versa. Once you have done that, you could discuss it with your leader and explain that you are willing to work hard to meet new challenges, but also hope that there will be room for switching in the future.

Hello there!

It seems like you're facing a dilemma between doing something you're good at and doing something with good prospects. It looks like you're being presented with two options and being asked to choose one. But in terms of your own situation, it's important to decide according to your own thoughts.

I think that some jobs with development prospects, even if we can do them, we may not be very good at them. But you know what? Among the jobs we are good at, if we have our own interests and experiences, and can easily complete the task, then there is a greater possibility that we will be better than others! This is why many people say that doing what you like and are good at can be both successful and reduce stress.

It's so important to think for ourselves and have our own opinions and ideas, no matter what choice we make. We can do what we like because what we like can make us happy and joyful, and also satisfy us. And this job can also make us earn money, which can make us love this job and life more and strive for it.

When we're not sure what to choose, we can choose to do what we're good at, or we can try some challenging fields and positions. It really depends on our own personality, and we also need to discover our own hobbies and interests, see what our career plan is like, and try to explore multiple fields or positions to discover our potential, and then practice and excel at them. I think this will make us more successful and confident!

I just wanted to share a few thoughts with you. I hope they'll be helpful! The above
