>>2724045I'd seriously consider doing a 3 month Bootcamp and then another month of doing some example projects.
as I said ux UI is great but I think you'd have to have a predisposition for it or else your just one of the other 2536382919 guys knowing how to use figma and not much else.
for that reason I'd suggest programming even though it's a meme.
give it a try, there's a ton of good free resources out there , spend an hour or two a day on it ( 1 month ) and if you like it get some certs via a Bootcamp ( 3 month full time / 6 months if you work part-time). then proceed to build a cool small example project that you personally actually think is neat ( 1-2 months) and then apply to 10 companies on wellfound a day for a month.
the timelines are flexible but I reckon anybody with determination, some technical inclination and the ability to work on their own accord can land a 60 - 100 k starting salary job like this.
btw I'm a design lead for one of those companies and I do interviews and look at portfolios.
nobody cares about degrees and I find people who do Bootcamps to be better usually since they didn't just get pipelines into studying something because that's what you do.
tldr, 3 months Bootcamp fr fr
