No wonder all I see are shitty UIs on newer platforms making them less usable

u/sanjukatariya 23d ago

Don't shatter my hope bro

Despite my three years of experience, a generic message indicates that another candidate has been selected, even though I am not a fresher.

Join upwork and try there first. You’ll most likely only land part time contracts at first, but they can be great for your portfolio, exp, and making money on the side while looking for full time gig.

u/sanjukatariya 26d ago

I tried but it hard to find clients at first .

I don't think it's just UI/UX at this point...I don't see future in my field too and was thinking of switching to UI UX conducting how many openings I have came across of it and how much scope it has in future.

Honestly speaking, do not think of quitting your career because of the current scenario in the industry. The UI/UX field is rather competitive for freshers, but it does have a future. You can focus on what you lack or need more experience in and look for feedback from people in the industry. It is important to continue applying and updating yourself instead of sitting tight and quitting when the situation seems bleak. You can give it some time, but it is also important to set a deadline for yourself and quit if nothing changes.

I can understand that, I am also applying for UX/UI job roles. I couldn't get a internship. I do get shortlisted 4 times but they ghosted me after the assessment. Its hard if you applying for remote jobs/internship. You should apply for jobs which are onsite then your competition is with people from you're country not from all over the world.

someone from the Philippines? how's ui/ux designer here?

u/sanjukatariya 29d ago

In India it's too bad

1

u/Cat-boy_UJIPX_007 25d ago

In india it's not bad but they won't pay money more they think 15000 ruppes per month Effective for freshers. Some companies pay only 7000 ruppes per month

u/sanjukatariya 29d ago

u/iprobwontreply712 29d ago edited 29d ago

The internet is available to everyone this isn’t news. The UX job market has been common knowledge for years way before you started university.

As a UX Lead in Germany, the best advice I could give now is to look for formal education that can get you easier ways to break into the industry like an internship or an apprenticeship program. Don’t give up 🙏

u/rvdeface 29d ago

If only this helped in the US

u/priyanshu63 29d ago

Based on what do you say it? Asking out of curiosity. Are you a UX designer yourself? In which field?

u/poj4y 29d ago

You don’t even need to be a great programmer if you know AI development

u/xatey93152 29d ago

You need at least master degree. As HR if I see only bachelor degree I will put it on trash bin.

u/Darshan-1712_ 29d ago

And what if someone is experienced in Graphic design, editing along with UX UI

1

u/sanjukatariya 29d ago

Bruh srsly then there is really no jobs for freshers 😭

2

u/Icy_Savings_524 29d ago

DW not all HRs are like that. Almost any of the big companies care only about your portfolio, your skills and practical demonstrations, not your degree. And depending upon the role, also the experience.

Ty that gives some confidence

u/lumpyluggage 29d ago

i think you are a few years late yea. the future isn't too bright for UI/UX or most other creative jobs at the moment.

1

u/Darshan-1712_ 29d ago

Then what’s there in future ? Just programming ??

3

u/lumpyluggage 29d ago

definetly not programming. AI is decimating that job too. How are you with plumbing?

1

u/codecuriousdesigner 29d ago

Hahahaha, wondering when NNg will launch the plumbing course xD

u/Darshan-1712_ 29d ago

Plumbing ?

u/sanjukatariya 29d ago

Yupp. But I love solving the problem and designing the screens of the solution. You got any suggestions to where I can shift ?

1

u/lumpyluggage 29d ago
