Any advice on getting started in UX?
Personally, I joined an online bootcamp a few years ago and I have to say, in terms of UX knowledge, I learned so much more after I left. There’s no way that a person can tackle the entire UX field and be skilled in it straight away, whether it’s 9 months or 4 years. The best thing you can do is pace yourself, if you’re going to go into studying it, learn the fundamentals and explore topics that interest you the most a little bit deeper. What the industry needs right now are “T-shaped designers”.

The best thing I did was work on different passion projects with devs, stakeholders and designers so I could find a reason to exercise my knowledge and skill set.
Realistically as a designer, you’ll rarely be working on your own; but instead alongside others from different professions like devs, analysts, data scientists, product owners etc. Learn their ways of working, as well as any collaborative tools: Jira and Confluence are two platforms (from the Atlassian family) I had no idea about until I was actually in a UX job; scrum training prepares you for the world of Sprints (designers do something similar: Design Sprints) which are a fast-paced, feature/user-focused way of working that involves the entire team (something hard to achieve once you’re doing just UX stuff by yourself).
And finally, you’ll never be fully prepared for the world of UX, but it’s important to know that that’s the way it’s supposed to be, you’re constantly learning. If you want to go down the bootcamp route, the benefits I found were having classmates and holding each other accountable on collaborative projects.
Hope this helps!
This was very helpful, thank you!

Difficult time to get a JR/associate role. Boot camps are predatory and unethical and lie about their job placement stats. Find a good mentor that helps a lot.
