    Here's the PDF guide that I put together: alienacai.gumroad.com/l/uxroadmap
    I recorded part of this video while traveling in Costa Rica and got sick 😅. That's why my voice might sound a bit like a duck. Hope you find this video helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

    I really loved this video. I am a UX Designer in Ireland, I've been working professionally for 4 years, I have a degree in Interaction & Product Design and it's hard to find high quality UX videos on RUclips, there is so much noise and short-cut advice on here that I feel is a bit of a scam and misleading. Thank you for creating non-clickbate, high value, non fear-driven content in this space. Subscribed!

    i feel like i've been so lost trying to find a goal to reach for or figuring out what i want to do in general. i really needed to hear those words too. not to be too dramatic, but i teared up hearing you talk about being patient with yourself and your own process. it's just so refreshing hearing that it takes time rather than making it seem so fast and easy. thank you for sharing these words alongside some great advice for starting in ux. 🥺

    Such a value packed video! The top 3 I want to further highlight:
    1) Replicating screens: When I transitioned from a less visually focused company to one where design was key, using this method accelerated my skills.
    2) Offering value when reaching out to potential clients is spot on. It's a philosophy that has helped me immensely in fostering valuable relationships within companies so you can influence what gets done.
    3) Building a personal brand: It's like a secret weapon. It opened doors for me that I never expected, from landing speaking engagements at conferences to educational opportunities.

      I just completed a year long UX/UI program through CareerFoundry. No luck even landing an interview after 3 months searching. It a tough market to get into right now. I don't believe the companies selling these training courses are being honest at all about how hard it will be to become a ux designer.

      Hi, we're on the same boat. The amount of competition seems a lot for someone who just decided to start learning UX, but hey we're still young. One step at a time :)) maybe we can get connected 😉

    • @Rain-qw1ue
      @Rain-qw1ue 5 месяцев назад +8

      It's definitely a tough competition this year considering a large influx of people started bootcamps. Connection, location, and experience are few of the highest hurdles we have to achieve. I'm not one to talk, but that's what I have deduced from all searching I have done. Regardless, I'm still eager to learn. Wish us luck!
