Hi All! I am looking to transition from Sales to UX Design. I am currently enrolled in the Google UX course. At the end of the course, I should have completed a website project, mobile app project, and also a case study believe.

Has there been anyone here who has taken the course and got a job with no degree? Is the Google UX Course sufficient enough to get a job or would I need other certifications + more project.

Hi! Congrats on making the journey and hope you’re enjoying UX. From my experience, certification does not matter at all. Some might snicker at the certification/boot camp folks but ignore that noise. ALL that will matter is how your website and portfolio/case studies look and feel. Make sure your site is refreshing, presents interesting case studies, and obviously make sure the design shows off your UX/UI.
