I'm switching from civil engineering to UX. My case studies are really long because I show every step (personas, journey maps, wireframes, iterations). A senior designer said 'nobody reads all this'. How much is the right amount?

Lead with the outcome and your role in 2 lines. Then show 3-4 key decisions and why you made them. Hiring managers skim for judgement, not for every artifact.

As someone who's been on hiring panels: show me one hard tradeoff you made. That's more memorable than 10 personas.
