What I noticed in a lot of job posts is the fact that companies expect you to be a graphic designer, web designer/developer and Ux designer all at once. I guess we will have to go full stack.

[@K.KLovelyz]

Full stack designer would have the craziest salaries ngl

He is basically describing 99 of the jobs out there.

I know this is an old comment, but hearing ux/ui designer on youtube always complaining is a bit painful. I dont think they realise how bad other job markets are. I done architecture at uni and graduated last year and have seen 2 job postings for positions in my area in the last year. I’ve seen about 5 product design ones this week

[@josh0147]

Arch firms are also generally smaller and are extremely biased with family members and their friends only working there. So there sre much worse industries out there (they also pay less)

[@cranialjukebox]

I really appreciate your pragmatism and honesty. I’m still in school for graphic design and my professor suggested I become a UX designer. I’m very confident about my decision and it’s good to know the pitfalls before I begin.

[@TheCuriousSammy]

[@DivineAMV]

Your professor is right. I finally landed a graphic design job but only after I worked an internship for 3 months and then applied to another 150 jobs.

I am scared asf, I am in high school. Please, I don't think I can actually survive. I plan on being a UX/UI designer but will I be able to do it? Can you review or help me? I am actually so scared right now. I need some guidance from someone who is proficient like you.@@DivineAMV

[@EnokMadrid]

Nailed it. It's the common challenges. I'd like to add another point to this list: it's common to get shot down, so you will need to earn the trust of your team and stakeholders. This is some that can take time to develop in any organization. And one last thing, sometimes you have to explain the benefits of UX when non technical or "business" folks join a project which goes back to the whole business/user balance. And the sad reality is that sometimes the business doesn't care about UX straight up.

Another thing to consider is the Design Feedback from stakeholders and colleagues. Design is subjective, and it is easy for others to judge your work without understanding the context behind your design decisions. You will get shot from all directions. Be prepared for it.

[@santoskhalifa8027]

That’s what I’m currently living

[@ConstantinoCoChua]

@@santoskhalifa8027 Most of the designers are in the same boat. :(

[@prestonhalstead149]

That’s why it’s critical to become adept at articulating the context and process that lead to your design decisions before reviewing any screens/flows/components etc

[@marckobuendicho3883]

Yep for example this middle age client has this business of shoes and the branding is for younger audience. So one of the best way to capture the audience is to follow the design trends that works for them. The client doesnt like any of those.

[@efficientapp]

Appreciate the realness of this video. I feel like if you want to just be a totally experimental UI/UX designer, try to target advertising firms, as they are the only site that seems to break all design principles to try and stand out as "super creative, much wow" 😂 Otherwise, yeah, a mostly standardized interface is what the end-user is expecting. Have a "more creative way of doing something?" Great, the end-user is probably going to be confused and hate it 😂 it's far less creative than I'd have initially thought. Although! You can still be creative here and there with some animations and Little Big Details, or "juiced" as Arc's product team calls it 😆 That said, there are still ways to make designs unique and functional though, it's just far more business outcome-focused than most designers would probably hope.

[@vcdgamer]

I decided to jump in blindly to UI design with figma. It was incredibly fun. Did a couple of side projects, even remade LinkedIn's website from scratch. But I obviously want to get a job in this industry soon, so I felt it wasn't enough. I'm currently going through the google ux course at coursera, but after seeing this.......

[@margaritasdias]

We can accept all of these for nearly all tech jobs nowadays. I'm an AI engineer and face most of the issues you point out here almost daily. I need to continuously develop myself, learn new things every day, overcome strict deadlines, and try to keep myself at a point where I find new projects and jobs I enjoy to do it. Social media and hustle culture try to convince people they can get straight to the point. They earn lots of money, experience, and more. Still, it is only possible to learn some aspects that create real value for a business in a short time. Thank you for your honest review; even though I'm working in a different field, I love to learn more about other tech jobs and the background that I spend my hours on projects with people from that fields. All fellow UX/UI designers, keep pedaling. It is hard for all of us to break the learning curve and create value from our knowledge and experience, but you can do it as anyone can with passion and an accurate roadmap.

That’s an interesting ask. Optimistically speaking the upside is your paycheck. But make no mistake everyone without UX in their job title will have something UX to say or add that comes straight from their own cognitive or personal bias. Optimistically they want to help you do your job cuz they think(-----) fill in the blank about all what they could think. Oh yeah get used to defending against bias assumptions. The work is cool the process is madness and the managing of chaos. UX Designer: We need to plan for mobile first responsiveness. Business Stakeholders: No way that us a waste of time. UXD: But our own analytics data shows 53% mobile usage. Not to mention industry wide stats. BS: That means nothing. Our users will only use this tool on desktop. In fact they will dedicate a whole screen to our app. UXD: We have no evidence to prove that assumption. BS: Trust me I know I am an expert in this field and you should be a better team player and ask for help from your team. UXD: (Gaslighted and in Shock) I just wanna make Art 😢.

It's getting easier to develop regular digital products due to technological progress which is normal. It's got very competitive compared to 7-10 years ago, thanks to boot camps, youtube, and tools like figma/sketch. All these callouts to work harder to stand out more don't really pay off. In fact, you work harder to stand out more to get at least something.

With that said I even went outside the states looking for remote jobs in Canada for Pete sakes. But now I’ve gave up on applying and just deciding to dedicate all my spare time to making it a hobby and give myself fun projects to do in relation to what I wanna do with my CS degree. Stay positive out there. Note: Honestly anymore what I think works the best to landing a job is having inside connections anyways. Which kind of sucks nowadays but it seems that’s the reality of it.

[@tayirnull1567]

In regards to the lean UX process, is there a lot of emphasis on iterating and testing? Meaning you hypothesize and come up with some ideas/features for an existing product to increase conversions and/or user engagement, while creating wireframes and high-fidelity UI screens to be tested with users immediately for feedback. And, sometimes research isn't necessary in some cases, right?

[@Mizko]

Yes the lean process (and agile methodologies) do emphasise on iterating and testing and I truly believe this is one of and if not the most effective way to progress. However this is only effective if the product team have the appropriate knowledge of the industry and customers. With that said, markets are constantly changing and feedback loops with customers are increasingly becoming more and more important. I have also seen numerous companies that I'm an Advisor for, 'iterate and test' without direction or understanding of what the hell they are doing. They are building and testing blindly. There is a time to iterate and test. There is also a time to research and process.

[@tayirnull1567]

@@Mizko I can see your point. So, even if a product (like Uber, AirBnB, Amazon) is already successful, companies are always looking to add new features that make the product even more appealing to their users. If, however, a product has a stagnant conversion rate or low user engagement, this is probably where the lean process comes in handy. The target audience is already there, but what's missing is the potential list of features/solutions that can even drive up the user conversion rates and other metrics.

[@Mizko]

​@@tayirnull1567 Yep! Exactly Tayirnull. What you've outlined are 2 different objectives. 1. Optimising an existing product for better outcomes - A/B testing, Iterating, leverage quant. data and faster feedback loops. 2. Uncovering and learning about new markets and opportunities to capture - Research, strategy, analysis, leveraging qual data and customer feedback loops. Yes, 1 is powerful and helps you move quickly, but without 2 it can also drive companies into an endless spiral. Also another factor to consider is risk mitigation. Not all companies are treated equally. Sometimes iterating fast can be detrimental for some organisations. Especially in the finance, government, education and health sector - these are just a few examples. In the end, I think it's important to note that, I endorse Practical User Research and not long-winded, theoretical research processes that don't help move the needle :)

Thank you for revealing the truth

the problem of not being creative is a little worse in my case. I just have to do the page-building with standardized components. I'd be thrilled if I got the chance to look at user flows, solve problems of conversion rate, etc. But I build pages based on pre-decided content, order, images, etc. I literally have nothing to do with the website's interaction or ux design problems. It's abysmal. Everything is so hyper-compartmentalized and hyper-distributed that I am completely out of touch with the design and business decisions that went into creating a website. I'd also be thrilled to have opportunities to go back and forth with stakeholders and convince them, negotiate, come to a common solution. Managing stakeholders is something you'll have to do as a manager when you progress. I really wish it had some of the problems you described. But I am neck deep in the "not creative" part.
