Being a UX designer is hard
This is not meant to discourage you in becoming a UX Designer. Before I decided to go into this career, I wish there was more honest perspectives on what it's like being a UX Designer. Either way, this is my own personal experience and I hope it sheds some light or helps gives you direction on your career change!

What NO ONE tells you about UX boot camps
Collaboration is definitely hard, so many people their own personal preference or end up just getting they way because they’ve outspoken the minority or they are in a higher position than you. Or when you have some that are fixated on a brand and want everything to follow their style regardless of what foundations you have set up.
loveeeee the transparency!! always so helpful!! and love the way you deliver these points. I wish I was a good story teller like you 🥺 thank you for the content!!
Thank you so much!!
I start my first ux role on Monday and I am here for this transparency. My bootcamp failed to mentioned how different companies approach users and designs. Thank youuuuuu!!!!
You got this! Thanks for watching 😊
it's wild how much a PM partner can make or break your experience on a team.
Preach. It can be mentally exhausting managing the macro and micro all at once. Sometimes you just have to stare a some trees or water to reset your brain!
that is so true! need remind myself to take a mid-day walk to spark creativity
Getting a job as a UX Designer is even harder
Work your way to the details. Get the big rocks done first
It's a fcking hustle
Absolutely love your truly honest insight.
Thank you!
Have you ever considered a career as a product manager?
Ooof not sure I’d be good at it honestly!
I share the sentiment omg. I work as graphic designer in advertising agency and it was insane. The workload is insane, the deadline is insane and the expectation is unrealistic. Sometimes it makes me questioning my ability "Can I even do graphic design?" LOL
But being a Beautiful life partner is too easy🤗🎉
Where to start your ux journey
With free certification
Hi ma'am Please recommend some ux courses
She’s talked about how good the Google UX Certificate is! That’s what I’m doing to get started now
Do they have fireworks every night?
how far do you travel to get to down town Cabo where all the vendors are?
@@HeartbreakerGuitars Medano Beach is approximately 30 minute drive. There are many vendors there and you can bargain a little
Great tips
6:40 I agree. I feel like they may not explain in boot camps that companies will hire for UX becauthey don’t realize what they really need is a product designer
3:00 yeah my first contract role was with a design team, but every contract after has been where I was the only designer. Even in UX mature companies every corner of the company isn’t gonna have a UX team. I worked for Fidelity Investments and I was the sole designer more often than not. BUT, the plus side of being in a big company where there are teams, is you can network and attend group critiques. But these companies don’t hire as easily for junior roles. That’s the problem. A lot of mature IX companies are not hiring juniors, unless it’s an apprenticeship or internship
Hi ,I became doctor recently and deciding to be an interior designer
I resonate so much with being the only solo designer. I've been working as the solo UI/UX Designer in a mid-sized startup for almost a year now and it's a very isolating and depressing experience, especially in a low UX maturity company. I did not have anyone to bounce ideas off of which gives you a limited perspective. Most of the time, I was a bottleneck for everyone before they can do their work so I had to get designs done left and right so I'm not a blocker which led to poor work-life balance so I am constantly burnt out. While I have designed and launched a few of our products, I think it's been really setting me back in my career. If you're just coming out of bootcamp, I definitely don't recommend going this route.
Im think I need to figure out what I like to do. I’m interested in uxui, cybersecurity and data science. I’m much stronger at ux ui because I when to school for graphic design
Not gonna lie, I needed to hear this so badly, switching careers and rejection is an emotional roller coaster, especially if the industry you're trying to get into is completely different from your current career, stories like these motivate me to continue, thanks for sharing 🥹
Hi! I accidentally skipped step 8, which is interviewing. I look back and sometimes can’t believe I was able to survive interviewing for a career I had no experience in. What I did and still do today, is create an interviewing study guide that outlines everything about the company, the role, and mock questions I anticipate might be asked. Some example questions can even be found online depending on your industry. I also had 3-7 stories that summarizes why I wanted to change careers and how my previous job and skills seamlessly relate to the new one.
Not us being the "UX robots pumping out content" 💀 - I've recently stumbled upon your channel and I'm really enjoying these videos, so a big thank you! - I'm binge-watching all your videos. YOUR EDITS ARE SO FUNNY. ❤ - 6:20 "blockbuster hits" 💀😂 all of your videos are blockbuster hits for me
You're so sweet!! Thanks so much for watching
I agree I’m getting into UX. It as the only marketing manager are just in my marketing career I realize being the only marketing person they hire they like you to know every single aspect of marketing and not realizing that if we have a team, we can all bounce like this on each other by being a freelance and helping small brand, I understand, but when it comes to big companydefinitely should have someone you can collaborate with
Does CZcams automatically change the title to the current year or are the creators doing it to keep getting clicks? just curious
Thanks dear
Going in two weeks. Thursday through Monday! Is the vibe good??
Lucky duck! Yes, muy bien and very relaxing. Have fun!
Heyyy heyyy im a graduated student non IT so im planning to study about uxui design could you please give some tips and could you please say ux or ui which one is the best course which have good carrier nd future benfitss? plzzz rplyyy
1, Don't make me think by Steve king 2, Articulating Design Decision 3, Lean UX
where have you beeeeeen 😭 also, you should get colored ink pens!
Hi! Had to take a little break. Wait that’s such a good idea! Going to Tokyo later this year so might add some fun gel pens to the list.
I clicked so fast when I saw you posted this. Currently applying for the Pinterest apprenticeship and I'm so nervous! It was really nice to get an inside view of everything, now on my way to binge your interview question videos. Thank you so much!
Woah that’s so exciting! Didn’t know they had one but would be such a fun place to work. Wishing you luck!! You got this!
Can be good best friends mrs. Developer?🤭🎉
Omg those CSAT results are awesome! Usually I only get a few responses if I'm lucky haha
I was so shocked too!
You’re such a pro! The market is really tough and it’s been hard to find my first UX gig, but I’m not giving up! Your video was so positive :) Hopefully things change soon, I’m willing to learn and do anything
You got this! Thank you for watching!
Wow this was vey insightful! I think this is the first UX video where I actually get to see the designer going over their work in detail and what they’re doing in Figma. Thanks for sharing your work and the iterations on how you improved it. 🙂
Of course! Glad it was helpful!
Hi!! What restaurant did you get the pizza at? It looked amazing!
It was at blanc pizza in the resort. was so yummy!
@@mimimichi Thank you for responding!!! 😊☺️
Were headed to Le Blanc on Saturday - how much cash did you bring with you for tips?
I don’t remember the exact amount but definitely at least $100 also depends on how long you’re staying. Enjoy!
Wow , absolutely loved the content of this video! However , I felt the thumbnail could be even more eye-catching. As a professional graphic designer with 2+ years of experience , I took a shot at creating a new one that captures the video's vibe a bit better :))♥🥰
How early did you have to get up to snatch the cabana? I’m staying there this month, any other suggestions or tips? Any mosquitoes on the property?
Hi! I grabbed the last 2 free ones at 8am so most of them were already taken otherwise, the normal chairs outside the cabanas are easy to get. Try to make reservations for dinner ahead of time through their app. You can get pizza poolside if you don't feel like eating in the restaurant for lunch. No mosquitos when I went in May and I get bit really easily so that was a major relief!
loveeee your fashion style!! 🥰 and the cinematography is so good too!!
Thank youuu!!! ✨✨
Hi Mimi, been watching all of your videos and that inspired me to start my UX journey. I’m currently in Designlab Phase 1. I realized that I don’t like the research part of UX :( . I know a good UX is based on a thorough research though. Btw I wonder how much UX design actually conduct research or how is it in your job?
Hi! So happy you started your UX journey. I will say a good amount of my projects involve ux research since I love to hear from customers on their experience. There are a couple projects that had less interview-style research and more unmoderated testing that was done without being "face to face" with users. Hope that helps!
Glad you enjoyed your vacation!
Yes! Thank you!
Dope, is that where you spent your honeymoon 😮
Honeymoon was in Italy!! This was for vacation, much needed time away from work 😊
Hey, I am also new into this and I really appreciate the tips! Thank you, Mimi! 🙌
You're so welcome!
I’ve been watching your vids since I was contemplating bootcamp and I’m happy to say 1.5 years later I start my first UX research role on Monday! Thank you for all your helpful tips and encouragement along the way! 😊
