Is SEO as boring as it seems? I have a good chance at getting a job as a technical account exec and I might go for it because I'm not having much luck finding UX related jobs at the moment.

Is SEO boring? It depends on what you're doing. If you like restructuring webpages, SEO is a factor. The pages you'll be fixing probably also have Bad load times and unoptimized assets.

I would love if you worked on text to speech, as I'm dictating this post and I've had to go back quite a few times.

Sorry, my post was pretty dismissive, which was unwarranted. I've read more about the role and how page speed and usability factor into successful SEO and I'm a lot more interested in it. I have an interview next week so I'm trying to do a crash course in what's going on in the field, best practices etc. I think I would find optimising sites quite satisfying. My background is in interaction design and UX, so I'll try and approach it with that in mind: better speed = better usability. Google likes accessibility as well, it seems.

If anyone has experience being interviewed or interviewing candidates for technical SEO roles I'd appreciate any advice.
