From the UX writers I've spoken to, they all started with just falling into it. Learn as you go. As long as you can write, you can probably pick it up pretty quickly. Just need someone to give you a shot. Or start freelance to show what you can do before getting hired. With the UX writer I've worked with, it seems like it's a lot more left brain technical writing. So we prepared for that. It's not as fun as being creative.

I also agree with SC1. UX writing is pretty bland enough, it'll be covered by AI pretty soon. Doing stuff AI can't (or at least very well) is probably where the work will be.

Haven't done it but I've looked into it quite a bit. Have you worked with UX designers directly? Did you get any portfolio work that shows you can write copy for CTA buttons, etc? Websites, apps.

You'll also have the best luck if you actually know folks in tech, specifically UXers.

Last thing: I know the salaries seem enticing, but I'm skeptical about the longterm viability of those jobs. UX writers have been hit pretty hard too, and I wouldn't be surprised if those duties get consolidated into other roles, at least for the next couple of years. But maybe permanently.

I’ve needed to do UX writing a lot in my regular CW job, as do my juniors (expected of them), and honestly don’t know how it’s an actual feasible job. You’re throwing yourself into the lay-off category by only doing it.

Hello All,
I am finishing up my second year of practice as a lawyer. I transitioned to plaintiffs pi work from a boutique commercial litigation firm. I like the work and not having to bill. The issue I am having is managing volume. I have about 150 active files some pre-lit and the rest are in litigation. Cases range in value from very small to low six figures. I also take the driver seat for the grunt work on the firms bigger cases which are at or near 7 figure value. I constantly feel (cont.)

Had a real estate agent help me for the past 2 months but my parents urged me to use another real estate agent who would give me half of their commission from the sale so it can help me on closing costs. I feel really guilty and I’m not sure if I should tell the real estate agent that I initially worked with and I’m not sure how to go about it. First time home buyer and new to real estate!

Hey Fishes. An early career question, Kindly take two minutes in your busy schedule to help me here? TIA!

I have been freelancing (right after graduation) for over 2 years now as a paid media strategist/ a performance marketer. In the upcoming months I wish to join an agency to get corporate exposure.

How do you determine an agency that's right fit for you. I was thinking about giving a shot at GroupM. What are your views about the agency?

Any better agencies that also accept remote roles?

If I applied to a company and sent a message to the recruiter on LinkedIn, but they haven’t accepted my connection request or responded to my message, should I follow up with an email a week later? Trying to find the line between enthusiastic and being a weirdo.

I think another offer might be coming soon but I really want a shot at this job.
