I feel like discipline and not getting discouraged are probably the most important skills you can have at this point.

Just started my first full-time job as a UX Designer at a bank. The insights you shared are so true! Now it is so competitive to land a junior role as compared to a few years back. But I am so glad I get to do UX after months of job hunting :)

The creativity of the thumbnail is what brought me here

After a few months of searching I landed my first UI UX Designer job it's a contract position but I'm glad I finally found one ☺️✌️

The most honest review on UX design I came across on the internet. Thank you so much! Really motivated me to think about my career path.

This was a great overview! You're very knowledgeable, I'm glad you didn't mince words about the climate for UX design and where it often lies on the priority list.

Currently working on a career change into UX and this is the most insightful video I've come across during my research into a UX career. Well done and thanks you!

Thank you for thoughtful advice. I'm a father of 3 children and currently have a full-time job in business and also taking UX/UI "bootcamp" course, started 2022 and I'm about to finish my course in a couple month. It hasn't been easy for me, even with a bootcamp, to make some time and study for the UX/UI in the middle of night everyday but I wanted to challenge myself and pivot my career, I'm not even in early 20s or 30s, and UX/UI has been excited & motivated me so many ways and I'd continue to hang tight on my current dream. (I do not expect myself working in a FAANG companies as for now of course but at least working as a UX/UI designer is my current goal.) As you recommended to pursue UX/UI related degree in above video but that is not realistic for me at this moment, maybe sometime in the future I will, and wonder if you could advise other options or opportunities that can help me to get in the door of UX/UI career without an internship? What would you suggest for me? Thank you.

Thanks so much for all the support ya'll! We are almost to 500 subs , can't believe it 🥹. Now that you've gotten a good overview of what you should know before becoming a UX Designer, dive with me into the dark side of the things I hate about working as a designer (I promise, it's not that bad 😉) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAOstH7FAQU&t=29s Also, I created a video to help you choose a UX Design university program in the United States. 🎓 Check it out here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzefEBvL2JI&t=24s

Why can't I hit the like button a thousand times????? Thank you so much for the amazing video!!!!

Very useful video. as a mid UXUI Designer o know the struggles. And in this video you go through all of them really nailing the reality of what companies need and how you and your team can see you. even thought i already tried to explain this to everyone around me and not find the words. But now i feel heard and i can explain better to everyone, what happening to me and why i am so stressed.

Thanks for this video, love your approach and how you talked about everything! I got my bachelors in communication & visual design in 2016 and been working in the printing industry, UX was only introduced to us in our last year of uni and I absolutely loved it, but it was such a long time ago, I'm 34 now and I want to finally make the jump to a career in ux...one of the most daunting things for me is definitely how fast tech evolves and changes! Thank you for all the valuable advice, can't wait to watch the rest of your content ♥

I love these types of videos, so informative and really just real.

This was all exactly the kinda thing i needed to hear

Great video, and I couldn’t agree more with what you said. I wish someone had told me that before. It wouldn’t change my mind about becoming a product designer, but I’d be more prepared at the beginning of my career 👏🏼

This is so insightful and the honesty is underrated~! Definitely made me consider a few things, thanks!

This is so refreshing. The insight is all around and very realistic. Thanks
