    I recently managed to finally land a very good job as a ux designer but it took me close to two years. During that time l did a hackathon and two contact work that were several months long. Also the job I got is hybrid and I would say remote jobs are harder to find.

    thank you, helps me a lot. I get scared easily when facing job applying. People had been saying it was the worst time to get into ux design field. I flinched and ran to apply PM. after a month of searching and interviewing, I remembered why I determined to be a ux designer. I'm so stressful if my life as my dream career not happening,I'd need a lot of money to build a second choice of life. And it turned out impossible if I dont even love my life. I'll be brave to hunt my first ux designer job. ❤

      AI will not replace designers. A designer will have an easier job if he learns to use these tools. AI does not know the context of tasks, it will not be able to create very complicated and correct mockups. The designer will have to watch and correct.
