I am currently switching careers from fashion design to UX design. I’m in the process of taking the coursera course with Google. I am really struggling to find internships, apprenticeships and entry level jobs. Any advice or referrals will be appreciated.

I wouldnt. I have 3+ years of experience and been looking for 3 months. The market is oversaturated

I unfortunately agree with ux designer 1, it was oversaturated when I was looking 3 years ago and it hasn’t gotten any better, if not worse. But I would start by freelancing, doing short gigs (paid) to build up your portfolio, then really network to land a job. Best of luck

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Is it normal for a Product Owner to lay out specs for how a feature should work?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. 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 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.
