Popis: During your human factors (HF) career, you will encounter many challenging decisions to make as your career develops and changes. Whether it is moving into a new domain, deciding whether to stay in a large company or a small one, embracing the corporate world or consulting, becoming a manager or remaining as a practitioner, everyone will experience a crossroad at some point and have to decide whether to and how to transition into a new role. Our goal is to share how different paths have affected the type of work we are doing, briefly discuss the challenges and successes we have encountered, and provide some insight through our shared experiences. Panelists will share their perspectives based on leaving a related discipline to transition into a career in HF, abandoning the corporate world to open a small business partnership, transitioning from a consultant to corporate employee, moving from a government role to become an entrepreneur and shifting from individual contributor to management.
