Transitioning from Visual Designer to UI/UX role
I have been working as a Visual Designer for a b2b saas agency. It's been 2 years now and I feel I have hit a plateau in my career. Can anyone help me in ways I can upskill or transition myself to more scalable job? I have 4 years of total industry experience. Also please suggest a salary range I can expect
Lean Adobe XD, figma for UI, create a Behance profile, create 8-10 portfolios. Modify your resume with chatgpt to showcase that you work on xyz project asa UI designer.
For UX, as it says, you need years of training and mental model to become a researcher in the field.
Research and understanding of the all businesses, different domain's knowledge be it finance, healthcare sector and it to say.
Apart from this, start reading blogs on UX.
You have to keep everything in your memory like how many pixels a button, inputbox and all web components should be for a mobile and a desktop. They gonna ask in the interview.
It takes 7-8 months at the least to understand all these UI parts in depth and UX at the basic level. Then also if u get in a job, you have to be confident in showcasing your skills coz u will be faking it and stuggle to deliver things on time for one year in that company as u wont be able to say that you are new to it. Happy learning!
Thanks 👍
