[IxDA Discuss] Career paths & organizational structures

[Michele Marut]

After reading this posting a few thoughts came to mind for those positions
below managment level

1) Is the title Human Factors Design Engineer appropriate or should it be
Interaction Designer?

2) At the moment "Each member of our group handles activities ranging from
ethnographic
research, product definition, interaction design, user interface design,
information architecture, ergonomics, and usability testing, through ongoing
usability benchmarking, requirements review and software development
support." - my question is - is everyone doing all these things well? if not
will there be a split between research and design? I know this is frequently
debated

if there is a split will that create two additional tracks?

3) At my company we are discussing the track of associate "insert title",
"title", Senior "title" and then Lead
