Yup don't be too concerned about the macroeconomic situation (layoffs, etc.) There's always companies looking for jobs. Don't be offput that there doesn't seem to be enough jobs for everybody, you're only looking for a job for yourself.
Agreed. Working since 2 years in industry now. Tried interviewing at google and adobe. Both made me learn that I am good with UX, good with visual, but to be at Mid-senior level in these companies I need to get more into front end and motion design. Did so too, in last 6 months. Companies are not hiring for what we are right now, they hire us for what we can be if we spent 6 months in that company.
I'm currently a product designer with just a few years experience so far. (Previous graphic design/web person lol) My goals for next year are to get more confident in my craft and move closer to senior level designer. I'm planning to read a lot, especially the UX books I already have that just sit on my bookshelf. It's gonna be a productive design year!
I'm a ui and ux designer for almost 4 years but i feel like i need to learn more. i got hired without experience but the opportunity to work and product for clients really helped me a lot. i got lucky but i can't be complacent
I think in my perspective, I have accepted the fact the best way to go about landing a job in UX is through an internship to gain that necessary experience. I am a current Doctor of Business Administration student currently taking Advance statistics for research, Quantitative research design, and Qualitative research design. With research being such a crucial part of UX - maybe, just MAYBE I could land a entry level UX research position or UX generalist position at some small company. In addition, for my program, I have to do a dissertation and my topic focuses on UX and rather Small Businesses should invest. Down the road, after I gain experience, I would like to potentially become a UX consultant/freelancer for small businesses. For now, I think my goal is to pursue an internship. I am even considering reaching out to individuals in the UX world to even do job shadowing - this can also be beneficial to put on a resume. I wish you all the best
Thank you Aliena, I always like your contents. I started the UX Google course some months ago but I haven't finish. I have a procrastination problem and I tend to lose focus on the courses. I'm giving myself hope that 2023 will be joyful for me.
Thanks for sharing! I was also a heavy procrastinator (surprise!) This video helped me a lot. Hope it can help you too: czcams.com/video/arj7oStGLkU/video.html Also, it's a funny video!
Great advice but I still can't seem to find my way around it. So, I am a 28 year old architect with a master's degree in industrial design from one of the top universities in Turkey. Also, I never had a job and am still unemployed. I don't have an architecture portfolio because I didn't like it very much, resulting in me spending little effort on my projects. I graduated with a 2.7 GPA (design studios DD-CC and every other class AA) and hated my designs throughout undergrad. I figured I wouldn't be an architect so I didn't even bother to prepare a portfolio. Then I tried industrial design. I got accepted to a master's program in a prestigious university (how i did it beats me). Graduated with a GPA of 4.0, with my professors saying I should pursue an academic career since I am really suited for it. I hard passed since reading and writing stuff have never excited me although I am pretty good at it. Anyway the program leaned much more towards academic work rather than actual design work, so I can't bring a portfolio together for industrial design as well. Although, it really broadened my horizon on design and that's how I came across UX/UI design. Currently, I am training myself to become a UX/UI designer, spending my days in Figma and CZcams videos but have very little hope of success. I don't think I am a good designer, even after spending 8 years in training, and everything I try to put together seems ugly to me. I am getting old for my first job and have no idea how long it will take me before I can prepare a portfolio that will get me hired. I am engaged and getting married in 10 months ffs... I need a job.
I'm working as a Frontend engineer for more than 6 years, but looking to side UI/UX design for the change profession field, so interesting and exciting, thanks for the video 😀
Aliena, I really appreciate your video. I am currently in the phase of switching my career to UX design. Your video motivates me to keep going and believe that I can do it too.
Great video! Thanks for sharing recommendations for places to get certifications to become more competitive or go for something else! My 2023 career goal is to go from accountant to UX designer. I finished a UI course with Designlab in August and currently doing their UX course.
Hi, could you do a review on the ux course in design lab too? I am looking for a good course that is affordable. Saw ur review on career foundry. It's too expensive for me. Thank you
Thanks to you. After listening to you , it make me realise there are other field that I should try. The content designer and product designer peak my interest. I should do more research about them. 👍
As someone who took the google course myself. This was truthful alot of people will say you don't need graphic design experience. Which I think is untrue the projects I was grading the competition was heavy the other students had graphic design experience. Which made their work stand out
I am that person who has a deep reason to become a UX designer but low chances if to be objective. We'll see if I succeed in 2023. There is no other way but to believe in myself.
I feel like on the second portion of the video (if you don’t have design background) she was trying to convice us to not be a UX designers…. So basically I shouldn’t be a UX designer in 2023 all though I just finished my bootcamp.
If you've already finished your bootcamp then you probably already have UX case studies. If you have ux case studies, especially real life projects, you are competitive in UX and please give it a try!
My career goal is...to be prepared for a creative role in UX design/web design/ product design or content creation in business by 2025 when my toddlers start school full time.
Hi! My goal is to finish my boot camp with three real projects in May and apply for remote product design roles. I have no design background, but a background in education and I could enjoy working with Ed tech or another purposeful tech made for kids.
With the conversion designer ? May you make a video about it more? What does it consist of? Day to day basis? What would it be called in the job field? I have no design background and am enrolled in a school for UX that’s starting soon, I also am taking an HCI course to help with understanding UX more but I understand that it’s a low chance for me to land a job since I have no design degree. Thank you so much btw!!! I love your videos and am very grateful I’ve seen this one! ❤
I have a vide here that explains more about conversation design: czcams.com/video/fsbsTkHhpbM/video.html Hope this helps :) Regarding day to day, etc. I suggest you to ask someone from the conversation design institute.
Currently, a UI UX designer for almost a year of experience working at the agency. But just quit XD for some reason. My goal for 2023 is to learn Webflow development and learn Google Project management. Instead of going further in UX, I wanted to explore more new things like you said I don't think I want to title myself as only UX designer but PM. I was kinda more interested in the planning stage while I was working. So new year new skills ...! Thanks for the video. :)
I am moving away from UX, where I live there is 300 applicants to junior job postings that have been up for only 4 hours... I just started volunteering with a non profit doing there social media and see more opportunity to work for myself this way, and alot more companies hiring for social media managers than junior UX positions .. I still get to use my design skills to some degree at least for making instagram posts!! the market is so saturated with people looking for junior designers, I couldn't afford to keep waiting any longer to land something /:
My goal is to land in a UX job or get a chance to work with a team. I'm even looking for a free internship opportunity, I believe team work will give you the best learning opportunity.
Hi Aliena! Thank you for sharing these informations! I been really enjoying your contents and I wanted to know more about your product designing experience before you got into the ux design field. When did you actually started designing? I know from your other video that you majored in computer science but I don't remember any video mentioning your designing experience background. It would be helpful to hear how far you were with your designing skills and tools you mastered beforehand to get a sense of what I need to study more. I am a second case person who is majoring in completely different field(plant biology). As I was studying my masters degree, I realized I do not have any interest in this field. However, coding and visualizing my data gave me a lot of joy and it lead me to think if I really dedicate to studying ux design maybe I can finally have a career which I can love and throw myself into. I always loved art but did not had a gut to follow my love. I finally decided to pursue my love after I finish school in upcoming February. Like you already said, I do not have portfolio, so I am planning to first take the online courses then apply to a university with UX major in US for a MS degree. Your channel have been so helpful and inspiring as I venture into ux designing field and I cannot wait to hear more from you.
Your content is amazing for those aspiring to work in the tech field. Although I want to work in UX design, conversation design is something I didn't know existed. What are your thoughts on the role of a UX writer?
UX write and conversation designs are two very different careers. If you are more of a text person than a visual person, I would suggest you to learn about UX writing/ Content Design/ Conversation design over ux design. All pay a tech salary.
ha, love your videos!!, so relatable and hones and always give a good chuckle! For me, since I have a Advertising/Graphic Designer, was actually like cooking a Lobster, (never done that) but in the sense that I started to work (back in 2000)in software companies when ux/ui term doesn't exist quite yet . Taking the courage to make a bold statement and say, hey, you know what? I am, a ux/ui designer, because I been doing it for years, (whit out the proper training until few years back ) but now, im thinking more globally and maybe can reach that next statement of calling myself Product Designer??? sounds cool right? . Thank you! Keep up the good work!!
my career goal is to finish the google ux course on coursera... i did the first module ages ago and i've been wasting time and money not finishing the other modules. I want to work on my portfolio and skills so i can start applying for UX jobs sometime in middle of next year hopefully
Thank you for sharing! Let 2023 be your year 🥳 czcams.com/video/arj7oStGLkU/video.html Here's a funny video on procrastination and hope that can bring you a laugh and a bit more motivation.
Thanks a lot for you videos. They are extremely useful that I always hit the like button. I like how you always explain everything thoroughly with concrete examples. I would like to ask a question. How do you decide the size of UI elements such as buttons, font size, input field, icon etc? Do we have to look at design systems and follow the guidelines for different devices? If so, can you maybe for your upcoming video in the future, shows us how to best utilize the design systems for your own design? I couldn't find any specific video or tutorial on this matter. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
im currently a 2nd year business student and want to get into ux design. I decided to go do a design thinking minor with a ux pathway at my school so that I can gain some skills, but im not sure if I should keep my business degree as a major or change it up to something else. For business I was thinking to do either Marketing for Management information systems. I plan on also self studying via courses online. I was wondering what you think I should do in my current position, thanks
L like ux design, but if you Know and can cover roll Of digital marketing in terms of salaries and what they really do, based on real experience , it was be interesting to watch :)
Need more videos for transition with design background. That’s the situation I’m in right now. Only thing is I get paid around $75-80k/year already as a graphic designer. What starting salary should I ask for when switching?
Thanks for sharing! I'm not the expert on salary negotiation. Please CZcams more about it and I've seen some great videos out there that will help you to negotiate something higher.
Very helpful and to the point! Im an architect, mainly working in project design and 3D arch viz. I recently got into 2D illustration and animation, and then got interested in UX/UI, are 2D and 3D skills helpfull for a UX/UI designer ?
any advice for students who UX is there major? How do you think I could stand out in internship interview process as a junior in a school in Chicago that offers UX as a major?
I don't have much knowledge about fashion design. But I've always look up to fashion designers. I'm sure some of your design skills are transferable. To double check, I suggest you to audit the first course of Google UX certificate. It pretty much explains what UX is all about, and you can audit for free to see if you are hooked. If you find it interesting, go for it 🙌 Just click on my channel and you'll find a ton of content on that course.
@@AlienaCai Thank you so much Aliena I’m currently doing course 4 of coursera. I'm not sure if I’m “hooked” yet which at times has me rethinking if it is the right path at times. I think would benefit from a boot camp just to get the experience of having access to a mentor to make sure I fully understand the entire process and that my work is correct.
@@Mia._803 Heyy! Do you have any further thoughts on your question? I also have fashion design background and I am thinking about taking UX Google course. Did it work for you?
Is there a way to become a "product designer" or "project manager" like you said in the video? I'm currently taking the UX google course, just finished week 4 of the first, still got a long way to go. My cousin who is also in this industry for 10+ years told me to become a project manager but I'm not sure how to become one. Do I just apply for that position with my ux knowledge or..?
A product designer is very similar to UX designer. A project manager is completely different. Check out this video I made on project management: czcams.com/video/ov9-8esq140/video.html
hi . I am interested in ui ux but have so many doubts Like most of time I am doing things on my own but whenever I came across a doubt ,it gets hard to clear out due to lack of guidance .. Anyone with similar interest wanna connect.
Thank aliena am a creative graphic designer but I have developed strong passion for ux designing that made to enroll on cousera google on ux designing am at foundational stage of my studies thank u very much beauty ur video does motivate me
I would suggest to put extra hardwork on UI design, to bring out the best portfolio. Also I would suggest trying to find real life projects as early as possible to get the experience of working for projects that will be launched.
@Aliena Cai thank you so much!! I posted my comment before finishing all the way to the end, but I do have my "why" so I will use that along with your tips. Thanks a bunch!! 😊

Thank you Aliena for another spectacular video. Happy 2023!!
Happy new year!
Just found this channel and already I feel confident went to general assembly boot camp and have been in and out of it but I wanna start again today
🎉🎉🎉
As a graphic design major, you've inspired to take the UX Design course from Google. I hope to get a UX Design internship!!
Thank you for sharing. All the best 🙌
Thanks to you. After listening to you , it make me realise there are other field that I should try. The content designer and product designer peak my interest. I should do more research about them. 👍
All the best!

I'm already on course 7 for Google UX - but wondering where would you put educators? - we definitely do 'design' just not in the same way.
im a therapist wanting to transition into UX Research and or Product Manager as i have the research and management skills 🤷🏽♀️🤞🏽
im currently a 2nd year business student and want to get into ux design.

Well I just finished my bootcamp, so it's for me lol
Perfect timing 😉
Need more videos for transition with design background. That’s the situation I’m in right now. Only thing is I get paid around $75-80k/year already as a graphic designer. What starting salary should I ask for when switching?
Thanks for sharing! I'm not the expert on salary negotiation. Please CZcams more about it and I've seen some great videos out there that will help you to negotiate something higher.
what do you think about AI replacing ux designers?
Very helpful and to the point! Im an architect, mainly working in project design and 3D arch viz. I recently got into 2D illustration and animation, and then got interested in UX/UI, are 2D and 3D skills helpfull for a UX/UI designer ?
Absolutely. Most of my architect friends transfer into UIUX the fastest. Because you folks had it all - graphic, engineering, communication.
Yes or No 🤔
Well the decision is ultimately on you 🤷🏽
My career goal is to get my first job in ui/ux
I’m trying to transition from film production career into tech. Is UX Design a great path to start or would you advice something else?
any advice for students who UX is there major? How do you think I could stand out in internship interview process as a junior in a school in Chicago that offers UX as a major?
Graphic designer of 6 years, just got laid off and looking to make the switch.
Many of my friend's best career transition comes after a lay off. All the best 🙌
i cant jump to group 2 😩
What about someone having a background in fashion design? Do you think UX is A good path?
I don't have much knowledge about fashion design. But I've always look up to fashion designers. I'm sure some of your design skills are transferable. To double check, I suggest you to audit the first course of Google UX certificate. It pretty much explains what UX is all about, and you can audit for free to see if you are hooked. If you find it interesting, go for it 🙌 Just click on my channel and you'll find a ton of content on that course.
@@AlienaCai Thank you so much Aliena
I’m currently doing course 4 of coursera. I'm not sure if I’m “hooked” yet which at times has me rethinking if it is the right path at times. I think would benefit from a boot camp just to get the experience of having access to a mentor to make sure I fully understand the entire process and that my work is correct.
@@Mia._803 Heyy! Do you have any further thoughts on your question? I also have fashion design background and I am thinking about taking UX Google course. Did it work for you?
Whats the average daily screen time for UX Designers?
Happy new yaer🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year 🎊 🎈
Is there a way to become a "product designer" or "project manager" like you said in the video? I'm currently taking the UX google course, just finished week 4 of the first, still got a long way to go. My cousin who is also in this industry for 10+ years told me to become a project manager but I'm not sure how to become one. Do I just apply for that position with my ux knowledge or..?
A product designer is very similar to UX designer.
A project manager is completely different. Check out this video I made on project management: czcams.com/video/ov9-8esq140/video.html
This is the only time I’d probably say na don’t bother 😆
Hoping to see my fellow architects here? How was that mess???
Do you think it's possible to transfer to UX after 35 coming firm a different background?
hi . I am interested in ui ux but have so many doubts Like most of time I am doing things on my own but whenever I came across a doubt ,it gets hard to clear out due to lack of guidance .. Anyone with similar interest wanna connect.
If this is the case, I would suggest taking a UX bootcamp to get the guidance. ADPList.com is a another great resource to get free UX mentorship.
same, let’s connect
To be a frontend engineer through getting Meta Certificate.
Thanks for sharing. Best of luck and happy new year 🥳
What about UX researcher!??
i am a cse student and i want to learn some courses, I don't know which courses are useful can someone help me with it ?
Is it beneficial if you've coding skills as a UX Designer?
Yes! I had a CS degree and it helped me so much collaborating with engineers.

Hey! What's the best major to take in college for UX??
Hey, I would suggest HCI
💗
❤️❤️🙌
What if we don't have a design background, but still want to be a UX Designer?
I would suggest to put extra hardwork on UI design, to bring out the best portfolio. Also I would suggest trying to find real life projects as early as possible to get the experience of working for projects that will be launched.
@Aliena Cai thank you so much!! I posted my comment before finishing all the way to the end, but I do have my "why" so I will use that along with your tips. Thanks a bunch!! 😊
Thank you so much for this video, I was losing hope with all the news, I would like to connect with you through LinkedIn if possible :)
