Hi! I have free access to Lynda.com though my work and am looking to get better-- period, but also would love to specialize. Any advice on good XD-skill-boosting courses, or even general tools that (cont’d)

Framer X is the newest shiny object. If as D1 says you’re user experience chops are foundational, journeys, research, user testing, UX strategy, design, you could excel at prototyping complex interactions. Nothing makes a GCD salivate more than going into a client meeting with a proof of concept that sells in the idea. If Framer is too code centric. Invision studio, figma or principal.

Research. Journey mapping. Usability testing. If you want to advance as a UX designer, those kinds of soft skills will help you a lot.

that would be smart to be proficient in beyond Sketch/ Axure/ InVision— more like adobe apps for showcasing interaction, coding in a specific language to help inform decisions, or something along those lines? I really want to invest time in growth topics, but don’t want to go too deep down the pipeline if it won’t be directly (or semi-directly) beneficial. Any ideas would be so helpful! Thanks so much!!

Thank you so much!! Good suggestions. Haven’t heard of Framer X before, but I’m on it. :)

Well, firstly, do you want to be a better interaction designer, or a better experience designer? Your post suggests you’re focusing solely on screens and maybe other UIs.

Hey Deloitte 1: experience designer for sure! I’m 3 years deep, so foundation-wise I think I’m pretty set. I’m just at a loss for what software-based skills will set me apart or help me be more informed, beyond the things I learn while on the clock. Truthfully coming into the post pretty blindly and was hoping some more experienced XDs could share software or additional knowledge that have made them better at their jobs.

Look out for design+code tutorial coming out next week. Not a lot of documentation out yet

Got an offer today...

Applied for a mechanical engineering position. Salary range was 65-75k a year. When asked about salary during the first interview, I replied 70k is my number. Later I found out that since it's a small company no health benefits would be provided, but 10 PTO days are included. Had I known about the lack of health benefits and 401k match I would have increased my bottom.

The offer today was for 70k but now I'm not sure if I should try to negotiate for another 2-3k?
