@@laid-backmonster1881 No easy answers here. But if I had to do it again and I was sure product was for me, I'd get really good at skills in visual and prototyping so I can execute whatever is needed. Juniors as a level is meant to execute anyways. Eventually you'd work your way up to complex product problems.

@@javiertrevino5535 I feel like I’m headed in the opposite direction - animation feels right in the sights of AI haha - but if you’re technical enough, I think anyone will survive. You need to know how the bits fit together and why.

@@ripsky7586 Is healthcare less saturated? It does seem like AI could easily replace workers in other industries as well? I'd say pursue something you can reach top 10%

@@Designalily I would vice pursue something that you are curious about

hey there, im a ux designer and I am currently in a Radiologic Tech program. I decided to make a career change back in january since there is good job stability + pay, not to mention that you are able to help people everyday. healthcare is a field that is always in demand and offers more hands on people focused work. so if you enjoy technology but you dont mind a career dealing with patients, it could be a great fit for you. but at the end of the day it depends on what you're interested in and where u see yourself thriving.

@@paular7183 thanks. Yeah i just saw figma released their new ai, so good choice going into healthcare. What are your thought on switching to mechanical engineering? I'm only one semester into cs so I can easily switch

I'm a software dev with a few years under my belt, and I live in Europe (specifically Germany). Don't think of it this way just because "tech is saturated, easily outsourceable and AI is doom and gloom". There's a recent video by Primeagen where he polled his chat regarding the fear of AI replacing their Dev jobs. Tbf, the fear seems to be in people who are either new in tech, or relative beginners in the field. The experienced and senior engineers do not have this fear, but do see it as a possibility with a metric ton of skepticism, at least with how AI is being marketed (I like using Bing every now and then). Lily is right, you are there to solve complex problems, and that's why engineers don't have this fear as much, cause we know AI just isn't there yet. (I'd give it another 10 years or so) That being said, me living in Europe, can tell you that healthcare, especially nursing, is REALLY needed here. Teachers too! And it takes a long time to build new blood to take over the retiring teachers, nurses and doctors. The problem here is, the job is just not being paid enough, and people here experience burn out. And in 10 years time, I would wager we really have a problem in our hands there, and AI won't save us there. If you're a people kind of person, then the switch could work. The problem is only that it will take a looooooooooong time until you see it bear fruit.

@@user-yd1wb2ki9h I have not figured it out yet either 😂 someone please chime in to help. I don't think it's designed to be straightforward, otherwise why would users have to opt out in the first place?

Go to your team > View settings > Manage AI settings

you can opt out if you're using premium, but if you use it for free...forget it, delete your profile lol

@@Luunaquedateluuna I'm using it for free. I guess they already have all the data with them 😭

@@Luunaquedateluuna I have opted out, and I’m not paying for Figma.

@@jeandorbensaustin9896 selling businesses their software

I don't think an AI can steal my job or do it better than me. The thing is, companies are the ones thinking they can replace their workers with AI tools 😅

I think your comment is for the designers of 10 to 15 years ago. Companies are looking for pixel pushers who can make them moneyas opposed to designers that look at design as a craft.

@@lydia-roseaigbedion6025 This will depend on each individual's working experience, not necessarily about X years. I think designers are being trained poorly these days. Everyone is leaning too much towards visual design skills/UI production (super essential but not enough). This is the wrong mindset; we should not be solely pixel movers. When working for a company, we should think more holistically how we partner with other functions and the business. I am not sure about companies only looking for pixel pushers. If that is the case, they are either small/startups or have a huge misconception about the design function.

@mozarellaguru the 10 to 15byear referes to actual time and not howmany years of designe experence somebhad. 10-15 years ago the market was more open to an extensive design process. But I disagree with your training statement. I think designers are being trained for the market of today. And while some places still priorize the holistic design process many don't or are turning away from it to meet expectations, get numbers, and stay on trend. Also I would argue that designers of today can only be good at the market/company/client allows.
