What is the future of UXD?- Grapevine

I recently had the chance to interact with a couple of product designers from the Bangalore startup scenes. The huddle also included a few who are quite active on the LinkedIn community - where they constantly talkabout craft, user empathy, design principles and what not!

But when you really listen to what they are saying - they are just all fluff and no meat. They just want to beautify things for the sake of it. There’s no depth in understanding the users.

When asked “What measures do you take to empathise with the users?”, this senior and ‘awarded’ designer casually answered - “ We just go with the VIBE!”

I MEAN, REALLY? 

Looks like the marketing effort that goes into building their social profile is all these designers care about.

The future of UXD scares me.
Sorry for the betrayal, users. 💀

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

All the B-school grads have a question...is getting into IIM to get into the PM role justified?

Does ui ux has demand

Software Engineer

Context- I’m 30 YO. Have 4.5 years of overall experience and 3.5 years in User Experience Design. Ive got a background in physical product design & I landed in UX due to non availability of 3D projects in TCS.

My leaning in UX since 3.5 years has been hands-on.
I’ve worked for a client for almost 3.5 years as a user experience designer. I used to work in silo 95% of the time and hence didn’t know the right YX methodology to use during the UX research process, didn’t know the rights questions that I need to ask to both the stakeholders and users as I didn’t educate myself through any online courses regarding the same. Before I graduated, I was told be a few friends that ‘UX is doable and it’s very easy up learn. If you can pursue physical product design, you can easily do UX.

Fast forward 4 years, I’m compiling all the work I’ve done for the client and I’ve realised a lot of loopholes and lack of depth both in the design process and in the designs. Neither I asked the right questions during the User interview nor my design fully solves the user’s problems completely. I have to add these 2 projects I d worked for the client as I need to showcase real world projects in my portfolio.

I want to switch not just due to bad pay. I want to switch for better exposure, for growth and to learn to work in a team.

I can’t go to the client and gain more clarity on the needs and requirements of the project as I no longer work with them.

I will re-educate myself regarding the user research methodologies, best UX practices , UI design principles etc.

But how do I showcase these projects which are flawed and has a lot of loopholes?

Late realisation regarding projects I’ve worked on for the client . I feel I’m screwed . How do I get out of this situation ?

I lost my job as a product designer three months ago and have been actively searching for a new role since then. I'm curious about the current market for UX designers. Could you provide any insights into how the job market is looking for this field?

What’s your view on Glassmorphism?

I want to move out of architecture - the work is stressful, long hours, not enough pay and the only ways to earn more and get growth is to go into construction and real estate which I'm not fond of. Is moving into design field in other sectors good? in terms of work life, pay and job market?

is ux design or product design worth moving into?

Iam a product designer, plus ui developer 
Iam a full time ui developer in my 9_5 company ( angular,tailwind,ionic)
And iam a product designer in my second company .
Basically I deigned and launched a web app for edtech space, where we try to teach data science and machine learning to kids.

I do like product design more ,but  the reason iam sticking onto ui front-end is I feel like designers don't get much respect, people tell of its just colors and stuff, 
Iam thinking if I know design and also front-end, will I be able to jump to a better company with better pay,?

I have 1 .5 years of experience.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

What do they do exactly? Many of them are earning well. I'm referring to those who work in big MNCs or large startups. 

I can see many companies with little to no ui changes over the years. And there are some companies which don't require a ui designer to work everyday as their products are deployed and there are less changes over the years. This made me question what the hell they are doing. Some even start with 50+lpa with no experience, in tech companies. 

I would also like to mention that some of these companies which hire designers for big bucks don't even have a good ui. Are companies giving away money for them to do nothing? 

These are based on some people I know who work in this industry.

Senior UI/UX Designer

I am currently working as an Industrial Designer at a Startup ( 14 LPA ). I have a Master’s Degree in Design from Indian Institute of Science. I am not finding jobs and am very confused about wether to continue as an Industrial Designer since I see very less demand as of now. On the other hand UX design is very lucrative in terms of perks and package. Your thoughts would be really helpful.
