Could we see your portfolio? Bootcamp isn't enough. A killer portfolio that proves that you can do the work will afford you the opportunity. Yes, the market is saturated and the economy is down. But that will change and there is and will be a need for QUALIFIED designers. Go hard on that portfolio.

Thanks for sharing!!! It is feeling like no matter what your portfolio looks like, or how strong your UX or UI skills are, without a lot of related work experience or a referral, it’s impossible to get an interview for a low paying internship. There are still people trying to get into it, so it’s important that we’re transparent about what that actually looks like!

Our journey has been the same. I swear I start thinking something, and then you release a video about it. I’m not done trying, but I am done trying so hard for something that is beginning to feel like spotting a unicorn. 🦄 Thanks J!

Your insights are truly appreciated. They've offered me a fresh perspective to ponder upon. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.

Found you a week ago and I've been binging all of your videos! I appreciate you sharing your journey, And the realism of it. I'm a software engineer, not really trying to break into the UX industry. but I still really like hearing your perspective

This was so nice of you to give out your thoughts on it. Thanks a lot.❤

This was very informative! Thank you for your input, I’ll be checking out more of your videos. Currently, taking the google ux design course.

They definitely do resonate. Can't wait for you to land your first Job/Gig

thankyou so much for your honest advice.. it really helped a lot. can you share more about ur learnings and how you tried to implement the steps to reach till here..

Amazing insight brother. 💯I think one major reason also for why profiles gets rejected is because it is filled with saturated case studies e-commerce, OTT, Dashboard, travel app, etc etc. Maybe we should try something really different, like making something for potters not e-commerce, just giving an example. Recruiters are definitely done scrolling through these kinda common topics. Like sometimes I imagine out of no where a recruiter comes across a project involving something like an app for garbage pickers, that case study will definitely be attention grabbing.

I have been a UX Designer for more than 20 years. You give some great advice.

In the last two years, I've been learning and working hard in the UX design field. Because I live in a rural area, I can only handle freelance or remote job, which is quite challenging for me. However, I do have a good client, which is obviously not a return on my difficulties. You may be wondering why I am still sticking on UX, and the answer is simple: I enjoy it. You can participate if you are really driven and dedicated to UX, but I wouldn't advise you to pursue a career in UX if you are not!

The market is overly saturated in UXers, and going to a boot camp won’t be enough to get your toe in the door. What I can say is because UX covers an overwhelming array of disciplines, it would be good for you to evaluate your skills and see where in your previous experience did you interact with users, or perhaps you were hired to redesign a website, or maybe you helped in CX related to sales. There is so much you can cover, your case studies would need technical expertise to show off your knowledge in stakeholder management, user flows, user interviews or stakeholder interviews, wireframes and high fidelity design flows. if anything, your case study should have a summarized detail of your challenges, goals, achievements and future outcomes. also your resume needs to be prepared to show your impact on projects, speaking of metrics or achievements. lasty your portfolio. all you need a 3 glod use case studies: 1) Usability testing or some form of research with insights. 2) technical work and 3) a mix of end to end UX processes.

Very crystal clear explanation 👌

I just got a job as a ui ux designer at a start-up and damn I'm burning out pretty quickly also there are a lot of things I thought I knew oh boy was I wrong 🤭🙈

1 month into a boot camp and I love UXUI. I wish I had know about this years ago. I love design, problem solving, and working with others. I took the Udemy course first and loved it. Frustrating at times, but figuring things out and learning from mistakes is enjoyable and actually fulfilling.

As a motion designer who specialises in ap and ui motion i've been using more and more Figma. While I don't want to be a ux designer I think having some of the tool will really come in handy.

A year and a half without being hired is rough, I’m sorry to hear that. I’m learning UX now and contemplating a career change but it’s difficult when you hear discouraging stories. Are you even being interviewed? or is it so difficult that you don’t even get a call or email back?

Thank you for this! I am just starting on my own journey with UX/UI/Graphic Design. I come from a healthcare background but need something more creative that tickles all the right spots in my brain. Given the saturation of the job market, though, I am taking it more into the realm of a new hobby. It will give me the time to play with it all then transition into freelancing later.

AM in the end of AI engineering and for me trying to understand these concepts are difficult but i have been always fascinated about ui ux. am at confusing state what to do .is it worth it? atleast to try a freelancing at the end?

I hold one bachelor in cs with a focus in design, one bachelor in nursing and some social sciences. I cant get into the field no matter how hard I try. Now I started on a master in business from a top10 school and suddenly people want to hire me as a product manager instead.... Impossible

bro already quitted he's journey to become UX design.😂 check he's recent video.

I am going to describe to you Thanks for scaring away the competition btw XD

Do you happen to have recommendations on udemy where the courses incorporates projects?

People are saying it’s very competitive so a certificate isn’t going to get your food in the door. I am trying to pivot my marketing career and have almost 10 years of marketing experience, most recently in digital marketing. Would that at least help me stand out or should I pursue another specialization?

Me ajudou muito!

great

Can I get you to review my persona & script template on your channel?

Is it in general or country/location matters? Maybe its different depend to where you live or its very difficult wherever you are? Btw, im new on this field and trying to learn on google coursera.Can you give me some advice 😅

your story has been helpful in keeping me away from this career path. I'm better off trying to become youtube famous than a rank and file UX designer lol.

Im doing my bachelor's and I want to do higher studies in ux UI design before getting a job. Which is the best country to do masters in ux UI design??

Just out of curiosity? So, there are absolutely no programming skills required when becoming a UX designer? I ask because I am a self-taught frontend web developer, so I have skills in CSS3, HTML5, Bootstrap, SASS & JavaScript with React. These are skills which are implemented on a website and what the client or the user would see on their computer. I mentioned this because since I enjoy creating friendly using experience by programming. Are there jobs which require someone to have both UX Design as well as programming skills like web developer? So far, I haven't seen anything online figured I ask since this is your specialty, thank you.

Hi i was thinking about entering this field i alwayes wanted to be in a unique tech field what do yoi think should i persue ?

No, it's not worth it. If I were starting over I would be looking at a AI discipline that appealed to me. 700 people applying for one job. Its cooked.

1:34-3:26, All these "obstacles" for basically a $50k salary a year sounds kinda just like rudamentary beginers grind and not like negatives to the field... My personal opinion.

Weird how ux design pays more than graphic design.

there is no work.

Boss : Anon you are our new UX designer Me : What?! Boss : I signed you up for classes Me *googling the fuck UX designer does
