I am looking to get into UX/UI. I am a recent graduate (graphic design) but have just been exposed to UX so I am taking classes. Does anyone have any tips or advice for someone just starting out in UX

Thanks

Check out IX portfolios, they are very different than design portfolios. That will give you a small idea of what UX designers do. They basically do research for every design decision. If it interests you take some courses.

Thanks. I have started taking UX courses and I’m really starting to like it.😁

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be).

And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Hello! I’m a recently graduated MSc Criminology student looking for work. I don’t know where to start or what I’m even looking for, but I’m generally interested in criminology, cyber security (no coding experience) & doing research.

Any specific companies I should look into? (Preferably UK based, but open to most of EU)

I want to move to Europe or New Zealand. I am educated/barred in the US and only speak English. Is this hopeless, or are there opportunities out there for someone like me?

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.
