Ux designer hiring12/3/2023 Someone agonized over padding and typography for Toyota's dashboard infotainment interface. Someone presented work for Garmin, Wahoo and Sigma bike computers. Someone somewhere owned the design work for the freaking Samsung fridge interface. The apple watch is not the only smart watch on the market - someone was behind the flow and designs for the Galaxy watch or the Fitbit or the Garmin. Then, consider the fact that interfaces and human - computer interactions have expanded and will continue to expand FAAAAAR beyond traditional contexts like desktop and mobile. Further, the deep web - the part of the web that is not indexed for search is estimated to be 100 to 2000x times the size of the visible web. Think about how much of the world is run by archaic legacy systems behind closed doors, and, think about the thousands and even hundreds of thousands of people who are stuck using these outdated systems. Mobile and Tech™️ are sucking up talent that could be going to other really interesting and needed areas or sectors. The second part of my solution is to completely dead the idea that UX/UI is all about and only mobile products and solutions. My solution for the state of things is to end the perception that FAANG or working in Tech™️, aka "Silicon _" (alley, valley, shire, shore, anchor, bayou, etc.) is the pinnacle of making it.

It’s almost impossible for anyone without experience to gain experience. Thousands of people are going through UX Design bootcamps, and less than probably 150 out of several thousands will end up getting a job, and those 150 will have to apply for hundreds of jobs or more over 6 to 12 months or more.Ī few years ago, I used to recommend the field to people but now it’s the complete opposite. A big one.Īnd people looking at getting into the field should know it. Also, there’s usually over 200-600 applicants for every job within a day or 2 of the job posting. R/web_design r/design r/usability r/hci r/IxDįrom employers not knowing what a UX Designer is and thus putting all kinds of random, irrelevant qualifications into job postings… all the way to the fact basically every entry level job requires 3 years of experience.
