Hi guys, I am in my final year of college and will be starting at Ford as a SWE (which I am grateful for considering the job market). However, in the past few weeks UI/UX has really peaked my interest. Since my teenage, I really loved computers but wasn't really sure what I loved about them so I studied Computer Science at uni.
How can I switch my careers now? Also, wanted to know about salaries in this field (not a priority but definitely weighs in decision making as someone from middle class).
Ratio of designers to devs is roughly 1:10- 1:15 at most companies and it’s much more competitive to get. Also there’s a hard cap on number of designers - because most design output is dependent on dev bandwidth to implement.
Unless you have a natural inclination and aptitude I would not recommend especially in this market (especially if you don’t have a design educational background)
Salaries are also roughly 60 - 80% of a dev in a comparable position.
