Part 2: youtu.be/NVCUfYW62IA

UX can be a great job, until it becomes horrible. It's definitely not for everyone and it's not even about learning Figma, or the Design Thinking process. Is 2022 a good year to become a UX designer? Yes and No.
In this video we're going to look at the reasons NOT to become a UX designer this year - and I'll break down four of them for you - with the most important being last.

If you're a junior UX designer and you want to learn and grow, make sure you're ready for everything that this job entails.

Hi guys!

Things I am going to talk about in this video:

1. What was my journey like after graduating Springboard
2. What I did to land interviews
3. How I landed my job after two months
4. How to stay positive during your job search

These are what had worked out for me so please take what I say lightly and apply what you feel works for you!

Share with me some of the things you have been trying and how your progress has been like!

And if you have reached out to me privately, I promise I will get back to you shortly!

Hey design crew,

Excited to be back with another vid. I visited my friend in Paris, Emily, who is currently a student with Springboard. She's taking the UX design career track course and she's currently at 96% completion. Emily shares with us how her experience has been, how she decided to take a design bootcamp, considerations for if this path is right for you, and some of her likes and dislikes regarding the course.

If you do not enjoy witty banter, 😛 please skip ahead to 02:16.

#uxdesign #uxbootcamp #userexperience

There are some questions that entry and junior level UX designers and researchers ask repetitively. One of these is definitely to do with the recent boom in UX and product design bootcamps. These intensive courses offer to teach UX as a craft in a matter of weeks. Some also assure that every graduate will get a paid UX job immediately. But given that almost all job ads quote 3 years of experience for junior positions, how much of it is true? Having reviewed countless candidates that have listed these bootcamps as their primary source of education in design I have formed an opinion that might help you decide if it's worth the time and money investment.

#ux #uxdesign #uxbootcamps

Should you enroll in a full-time UX design bootcamp during the PANINI?

The answer is, it depends. This video provides you with objective information/food for thought to help guide you through calculating whether it's the right move for you. This also means that you gotta be honest with yourself -- reflect on your learning style, budget, ect. -- in order to make the best decision for yourself.

In this video, I cover four main things: state of the UXD market in 2021, the hush hush negative association about bootcamps, the absurdly high tuition cost, and identifying your learning style.

BTW, I'm a self-taught UX designer currently in the process of learning. I did initially enroll in a full-time bootcamp but withdrew before the start date commit to this untraditional path.

I'm not one to pass judgement or tell someone to do something or not do something (especially when it involves great time commitment & mad guap) so I hope this video will help y'all make your own personal decision.

If you are down to commit to a user experience/user interface immersive bootcamp course, the most popular ones these days are: General Assembly, Thinkful, The Interaction Design Foundation, CareerFoundry, Springboard, DesignLab.

I'm currently working on a video to provide greater detail about how I approached building out a core curriculum and providing the resources I am using -- so stay *chuned* for that.

TYSM -- I appreciate you :')
