Hey there looking for some grounding in what to expect with UXR base or total comp. I have 3 YoE in industry, 3yrs in academia, numerous journal article pubs (albeit in psychology), and am based in Canada. So far I've heard first hand base comps ranging from 90K to 130K for intermediate UXRs. Is this a fair assessment or are my observations incorrect to the whole spectrum? TIA

130 seems high, but depends on a lot of things. Check Glassdoor.

Ok I am a UXR in the USA so take this all with a grain of salt. In the US depends on where we live and not just your experience but the position title, is it research lead / senior or not. 90-130k seems like a pretty good range, 130 USD may be a bit high for non-senior positions. I’m in a major city so I started making close to 130k after 3 years in the industry as a senior UXR, previous experience outside the industry not dissimilar to you but I do not have a masters. Senior / lead roles can def pay more.
There isn’t a ton of standardization in the industry so you will get people offering ranges across the board. I’m on a contract with Verizon now which means no benefits or pto (LOL America) but I make close to $150k paid hourly.

Hello folks,

My current ctc is 23lpa and I have offer of around 36lpa in India
However i am getting an onsite opportunity In Denmark, what should be my expected ctc there? Considering the country is much expensive. If anyone has done research regarding cost of living in Denmark earlier, please share your thoughts on this, it would be very helpful. They are willing to offer 60k euros, but I feel 36 lpa in india is better deal. Companies are equivalent.

I joined a project that had already started and the team already settled on creating a user journey map, even though none of them are designers or in ux. I also have no experience in this field as I'm a data engineer. The user journey map was for mapping out the process for tenants finding housing assistance, so not a technical product. Given this new field and type of work, I've been having a really tough time. Anyone mind sharing what helped get you through your first ux project?

Looking for some advice on a career change. I work in a technical role and have well-developed soft skills. I want to transition to UX (w/ focus on accessibility). There are a lot of UX educational programs out there, some very new, e.g. Dribbble, and costs are all over the place - General Assembly is $15k (and full-time), CareerFoundry almost $8k, and then many others at a fraction of the price. Reviews also vary wildly. Are these more expensive programs worth the huge increase in cost?

It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.

I think I may have finally had it.

A couple of decades in this field and now I want to just walk away. The grind in tech is soul-destroying, and the vast majority of the time, coworkers outside of UX have no idea what it is, what it’s for, and how it’s applied. I’m at my wits end and the constant problem is a kind of “willful misunderstanding” of our process and value.

After wasting too many years on design immature companies, It’s senselessly depressing. I’ve given away too much of myself.
