I find that function follows flow. The best designs are the easiest to use yet the most challenging to imagine. Truth is… everything has been done. Originality kills the artist. Functionality saves them. No design looks as good as many users using your site feels.

There are some really good bootcamps you can take part in where you can learn the basics and get some decent hands-on experience.

Yea there are really good boot camps to start from. Once you feel ready, you can start with creating a portfolio and selling services on fiver maybe before looking into a job or apprenticeship program

I’ve been practicing similar to how I would learn to play an instrument. No need to write songs right out of the gate, it’s better to learn to play songs that already exist.

Take screenshots of some websites, apps, etc, you like or find some mock-ups using Dribbble or something similar. Then try to recreate them in Figma. Once you master that, you can start designing your own work flows.

Look into UX training schools like General Assembly. Relatively inexpensive to get foundational learning and often these schools provide job placement support

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits. And the other offer has a good pay and good designation (Associate Consultant) rather than the one I choose. Now i feel very low due to this decision that I took. I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back

Can title be negotiated?
