Anyone here work in UX design? I'm thinking of switching careers and wondering what your experience in UX design is? What courses are the best to take, etc.

UX design involves wearing a lot of hats and having multiple skill sets alongside basic design knowledge. It keeps you on your toes, especially if you don't work in-house for a single company. So, in my experience, I need to know a lot about marketing, design, technology, and even some psychology behind the marketing. Overall I love what I do and want to keep on this path for a while, so if you're interested, there are lots of degree programs and certifications, but you don't always need those to get a UX design job.

I think you're getting some great insight from D1 there. I would also add that a lot of UX design is understanding human behavior, researching and being able to implement that within the design.

Had a friend in grad school whose day job was as a UX designer. He was very multi-talented. Great at tech, but also killer at design, writing, etc.
