I want to switch career!

What are the possibilities I can do better as UI/UX designer?
I'm currently a sde. I have no background in UI/UX. But I'm very interested in it and have already started taking courses in it.

Is it possible for me to do equally good, if not better, in designing? - salary wise and growth wise ?

(my ctc is 15lpa with 1yoe in software)

QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?
