Videos like this are so encouraging as someone looking to get into UX and the tech-field. Using the quarantine time now to level up my skills and portfolio and hoping once it's all over, I'm going to work at a cool company doing what I like. :D

[@ramishamon4899]

updates on your journey>?

[@joenguyen1834]

​@@ramishamon4899 I had a really good opportunity fall through because of COVID unfortunately. (No use in dwelling tho) Recently I haven't been the best on "leveling up" but I'm slowly working on it still. I have a phone call Wed which could be promising.

[@chunbuns]

tech isn't rainbows and roses (sometimes the perks are a disguise to the ugliness that goes behind the scenes) but it's a promising career track where the value of your work increases when you put in the effort and time to grow your skillset. it gives you the opportunity and power to be part of the decision making process at companies. wish you the best in your transition :)

[@mastergalaxy6630]

videos like this are so encouraging. i come from a family that basically has nothing, and I watched people that thought a career was just constant back breaking work for like 70 hours a week to hardly see a penny. that introduction to careers ain't great, so seeing someone with a legit job being able to have a cool relaxing time, while still being creative is honestly awesome and keeps me going for this degree

[@ryanm4769]

I used to be super depressed after College (graduated this May) and not knowing what to do with my CS degree. It was hard getting a job too because I just didn't care for software development.... but then I got a job in UI/UX Design with a startup and I LOVE it!!! I found that I'm definitely more creative and "artsy" than just full on math and logic based. I still have a long way to go in UX design, but seeing videos like these motivates me!!! I'm already starting to create my own portfolio site :)

[@diishakr]

Hey, I am in a similar phase as you. I have a CS degree but I am more interested in UI UX design. I had few questions - is UI UX a good career opportunity in future? Because the market says that it's not that demanding. Will ai replace us?

[@joselynvasquez63]

@@diishakr I'm in a similar position. I'm a sophomore studying CS and interested in UI/UX design. I don't even know where to start to learn it. And don't want to change my major bc I feel like it will still be good to have. Debating on minoring in something that will be beneficial if I choose to go towards UI/UX design

[@diishakr]

@@joselynvasquez63 hey so now I am doing my major on VFX animation, ui ux and film. Luckily I got admitted in a Korean university which is giving my a customized career. So what you're saying is true! Even i don't want to study solely ui/ux. So I am having multiple degree at once.

[@ryanm4769]

This is one of the videos that made me realize my love for UI/UX! I graduated with a comp sci degree last year and really didn't like being a developer - but now I work for a startup as a Producg Designer and I'm very happy and omg the people are so nice in the UIUX community.

you're not alone in experiencing anxiety :D it does get better though the more you present. I'll try to share tips and ways to overcome fear of public speaking in another video!

[@starogre]

@@chunbuns i thought it was interesting how you present to the different groups. at a startup i was stuck presenting to everyone at once, and eventually the meeting group got so interested/big that it was nearly impossible to give everyone the same type of info in the same way for me. finance, engineering, ceo, other design, marketing, and ops all in the same room together. it got a bit out of hand. having 1 on 1's with people instead may have worked better, since sometimes the designs catered to what the PM and CEO wanted but not anyone else. so it wasn't really relevant to them

I feel you, I am a coding ex student, UI/UX pro ---> designing and developing app for local companies. I don't have a portfolio cause I am only too young and don't even know how to start to get one because the companies I worked for don't want that I share their infos. So, I am stuck because to get a job position they ask me to have experience even for an internship, but I can't have experience if I can't demonstrate because the company was small and not in the sector of designing.

[@wayzUX]

Reasons to continue? Like paying for your food and rent? It sounds like you weren't that much interested in it. If you were, you wouldn't try to find reasons. Are you a working ux designer today?

[@ketoweightloss9825]

Tech industry used to embrace introverts. I don't understand all the distractions in 30% meetings, and presentations. What ever happened to value in getting things done without all the extroverted fluff setbacks that distract away from the creative process. Tech & design people would be working in Sales if they really wanted all that extroverted time wasting activities. Like if I'm working on a painting, or coding a website and get a million calls in that time it kills the creative process, any process. This is why I prefer freelance work. Work time is dedicated to actually working, not talk, talk, talk. Nothing worse than a ton of meetings and presentations then a boss yelling at you to meet a deadline. A deadline that could of been met easily without all the fluff talk. I don't work to party and socialize with superficial co-workers. I work to accomplish tasks, to be proud of my results, to better a business & their customers, and make money.
