UI, UX, vs Product Designer | Who earns more?

[@AlienaCai]

📖 My Product Design Course: fasttrackux.com 🎁 Free Product Design Roadmap: alienacai.gumroad.com/l/uxroadmap When I started off my design career, I thought UI, UX, and product design were three very different things. Turns out they're not! Watch this video to learn why most tech companies are switching UI/UX designer titles to Product Designer. You will also discover how much Big Tech companies pay their designers. I understand job salaries vary a lot between cities and countries, so please take that into consideration. Plus, I demonstrate how design is usually done in real life versus what you might have learned from online courses and bootcamps. Enjoy!

Please I want to be in your design team. I am very good at what I do.

After a year of working as a junior website developer, I realized that life isn't just about making money. It's also important to find time for rest and peace. That's why I took the initiative to learn about UI/UX design so that I can collaborate better with designers and understand their needs more easily. ❤

[@AlienaCai]

So glad to hear this ✨ Honestly, with your experience, you probably already know most things about the UIUX world. But learning it could help you connect the dots and expand your future project opportunities. 🎉

This happened to me many times: not being included in the early stages of the product even though it was stated as part of the protocol/process. Talking about my work as Product Designer will definitelly be a game changer. Thank you Aliena, you're THE best.

Woah just saw your linkedin post and now you were in my algorithm. I wish you the best in your next journey.

[@tinglee8]

Your Threads + Instagram example is on point. This is definitely a realistic scenario of what happened.

[@AlienaCai]

When I see that icon showing up I can feel the number of meetings and debate and iterations the designers have gone through just to put that there 🤣

[@mrpredator302]

Aliena thats really very helpful keep it up keep growing🎉

Excellent video ! I'm going to send this to people when they ask what I do :)

This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you 🤩

[@AlienaCai]

You're so welcome!!

[@vnhg]

This was very educational, informational and interesting. Thank you. I'm glad I went the Dev path.

[@AlienaCai]

No problem you are welcome!! Totally, Dev and design require two completely set of skills and personalities. Congrats on choosing your path!

Glad you liked it!

[@kuniguo3562]

姐 is telling the truth! How can be so productive and every video is so informative and pratical❤❤❤

[@AlienaCai]

谢谢你！Thanks for saying that I'm productive. I think we just see the online version of each person. If you know me in person, you'd see 80% of my daily life consists of complete procrastination followed by 20% crazy productivity 🤣

[@carolmekare3796]

Great tips. I love your videos

[@InnovatorsTales]

The CEO of adobe is a designer also .

[@anserwaheed3354]

I am an Architect but I don't know in which field I should do masters as I am planning to transition into UX or UI, some people say product management is better and some say masters in user experience is good and some say nothing is good, as the job market is not good anymore because of a lot of competition, do you have any suggestions?

[@FlavioSartor]

This video blew my mind. What about service design? It can be part of something or its just related to UX/UI/Product? I am asking because I saw companies hiring service designers and the job itself is like a UX Researcher for business needs.

[@AlienaCai]

This is a great question. I'm not an expert in service design so I actually don't know 😅 Based on asking ChatGPT, I felt like maybe service designers don't need to deliver UI?? But more like designing the customer journey?

[@edidiong3456]

You are right Thank you for sharing

[@AlienaCai]

Thanks for watching!

[@Otiia]

As for naming conventions we as a industry are truly in a shi...y place (our fault by the way :D) coming up with new names and titles each day. For me personally ux design covers everything since it tackles user, business and everything around it.

[@barbararuiz4630]

Wow very informative thank you!

[@omkardeshmukh9335]

Is UX & Product design still in demand? Because I've heard from a lot of people that the design career is in decline and there are very few job opportunities in the market.

[@twinblade93]

the market is shit atm. I have 3 years of experience + master degree and am struggling finding a new job in London. There simple not many places to apply if you are early in your career

[@twinblade93]

To be more specific. I had an easier time landing jobs 2 years ago with a shit portfolio and no experience straight out of uni than now with an almost perfect for my level cv and portfolio

[@RobZ-u3r]

UX/UI/Product designer openings are down by 71% from 2022 to 2023

[@AlienaCai]

I also heard it's a tough time at the moment 🙈 But usually decreasing full time role lead to increasing contractor positions. You can look into that. Also, it looks like it's not just UIUX, it's almost from all industries.

[@twinblade93]

@@AlienaCai yeah its tough in the tech industry in general. To end it in a positive note I got an interview with a company that offers a very high salary. Wish me luck

[@uifry]

Thankyou for sharing :)

[@AlienaCai]

You are welcome!

[@ilsldfjgeort]

Is it possible to find work in these big companies? I feel like it's from an other world for me. I have studied illustration, now I am working as a graphic designer and learning UX/UI Design. Mostly from the UI design perspective. I am trying not to work as much as it possible and do my portfolio as well. But I am 30 years old I don't know if age is problem too.

[@AlienaCai]

30 year old is pretty young in the USA/Canada standard! However, I'm not sure where you are from. It's definitely possible, but it also requires dedication and effort and luck 🍀

[@ilsldfjgeort]

​@@AlienaCai Thank you for your answer. I have been working on this for 6 months now, and I have completed the 5th module of the Google UX Design Certificate. I am trying to understand everything as thoroughly as possible before moving on. I’m also working on my portfolio, but I have a question that might not be the best one: Why doesn’t anyone share prototypes in their portfolios? They only show images and the process, not the final result?

[@fofobiza842]

Is it possible to learn UX/UI from scrach ?As a beginner, how does it take to learn UX/UI ?How much does it cost?Thank u

[@AlienaCai]

Of course it's possible. I suggest you to try out this playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emWxqoRrnrSAfJI If you can follow 80% of this tutorial, I suggest you to try: fasttrackux.com for a more complete set of traning.

[@ShondaD_]

Is learning UI/UX and Product design just for Tech or could this be for other industries as well?

[@AlienaCai]

For more than tech industries 👍👍👍 I personally am more familiar with tech & e-commerce industry, so I talk more on that in my videos.

[@danishzaffar]

I also wanted to be a part of your design team 😔

[@AlienaCai]

I'll work on my leadership skill so I can have more designers onboard to my team ✨

[@danishzaffar]

@@AlienaCai any chances now?? I have been following you and getting knowledge and inspired by you since you were in eBay 👉👈

[@netnomad47]

Meta already has Facebook and Instagram. Threads is them just being greedy

[@aj-lan284]

These days many startups use pre build paid templates because 90% startup concepts are same or already existed... UI UX is a declining career...and salary is very low. I am not talking about a FAANGM.

really...? still worth for doing UXUI design now?
