Hey, how much is entry level pay

@DaniellesWorldd Год назад

Being a ux design sounds like being a lawyer sometimes. Everyone who makes these kind of videos are like "get ready to fight" 🤺. Like jeez I thought I just had to make rounded squares and call it a day 😭

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Lol girl this took me out 🤣 it’s kind of like that

@Moonmademedoit Год назад

Yeah it gets dramatized a lot lol Sometimes we can't even change the product owner's mind about the final decision, what "fighting" do we really expect to see here 😂

@intimissy Год назад

huge introvert here… meeting fatigue was enough for me to reconsider 💆🏽‍♀️ no one has talked abt this in other videos so thank u!!!

@Moonmademedoit Год назад

I feel like it's important to remember that sometimes no matter how much we try to persuade the product owner, we might not succeed, and that's fine. We are trying to make better products for our users but just as you said, we're also working for businesses that have their own decision making logic, and we have to remember that, UX designers are just one part of product development. Sometimes detaching from it is the better choice 🤷‍♀

@ellewilliams1185 Год назад

I'm starting the Google UX Design Certificate through Coursera at the end of this month, and I truly appreciate your insight! I have been looking at UX designers' videos all across RU-vid and your channel has been the most transparent and clear regarding expectations/advice.

@hellostephaniem Год назад

This made my day! Thank you so much 😭 ❤️

@AbdulHamidHafiz 10 дней назад

The meeting fatigue and having to fight and defend for my ideas are really discouraging me from what I thought would be a the right career change for me... Thank you for the real insights Stephanie!

@hellostephaniem 9 дней назад

Yeah it's not glamorous but very realistic to the job. Glad this helped you!

@DigitalPlacebo 9 месяцев назад

Keep on pushing sis. What made me back out of UX design is how I feel like you have to plead your case / design choices. You have to literally educate them on UX design to prove why you've chosen the layout choice. That's too frustrating for me. You never know being a UX design teacher as part of your job.

@hellostephaniem 9 месяцев назад

Exactly!! Thank you for understanding

@noodlenora Год назад

Thanks for the authentic videos! I'm a graphic design major in undergrad and just landed a UX Design internship !! Your videos have helped me a ton :D

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Yay! That's so exciting 🥳 I'm glad these videos help!

@camilaoliveiras3672 Год назад

You said it wisely! That's totally how I feel working in this field for the last 5 years!

@Anthony-nd7ld 2 месяца назад

fuck I so agree with you, I study at moment and I always have to defend my design why how, everyone wants to change something about it, so annoying

@hellostephaniem 2 месяца назад

So annoying! It just happened again to me this week!

@Anthony-nd7ld 2 месяца назад

@@hellostephaniem but do you think it’s more related with UI ? What about if you do more UX research based maybe you would have less that no ?

@Alex-gu2ws Год назад

I did a contract job (my first UX Design role), and as basically the UX "expert" at that. It was in a venture organization in a company, and so it was like a start-up. I experienced all the things you said. It was hard to balance on top of learning to do UX also. I was basically learning as I was going haha.

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Right! You get me lol

@Maxi855 Год назад

Suuuper good video Stephanie!! I've been designing now for 5+ years and I can 100% agree with you. Regarding business vs user needs...I think this is kinda our role, right? We're trying to bring both needs into whatever product we're designing. Sometimes I get a business request for a feature or whatever, my job is to investigate why we need that feature and why it could be useful for users. Then, we make the best we can for the end user (while giving the business what they need). It's frustrating at times, but also I think detaching yourself from the product helps a bit. Even if it's mostly you designing it (and let's be honest, we do most of the heavy thinking work), if you consider it a full team effort, you can be a bit more objective.

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Thank you so much Kevin! This is awesome coming from a seasoned designer ☺️

@lueyang2249 Год назад

Thank you for the content! I'm making a decision to start the ux/ui bootcamp through Springboard this May. I come from a industrial design and mechanical engineering technology background so I'm hoping it won't be too challenging to transition. It definitely seems disappointing to try and defend your user's needs just to get shut down. When the product/service isn't as successful, I can foresee people pointing figures at the designers. Again you're then put into the position to defend your case and your innocence. Learning how to set proper boundaries and protect yourself is important when you often become a scapegoat for issues. Company politics sucks, but it's a reality we live in. Anyways, thank you for sharing your experiences!!

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Thank you Lue! Such an insightful comment and it's definitely a tough balance to strike. Good luck your bootcamp 🎉

@shiuandai0426 Год назад

thank you for sharing your opinions, i am doing architecture for 10 years (from study and work), i am thinking to shift my career recently since i feel architectural industry is too complicated. But i will balance between them before i make a ddecision.

@Blairezz98 Год назад

What is the average daily screen time for UX designers? Do you look at computers for 8 hours straight ?

@hellostephaniem Год назад

I would say about 6hrs a dat

@Mia._803 Год назад

😊Great video! How do you feel about presentation. I think that’s the only think I’m a little nervous about. Like how often do you have to do them. And is it like a long drawn out presentation. 😩 I’m pretty introverted but can hype myself up to just get through it. Lol

@hellostephaniem Год назад

In my experience, they have been very casual and not very long. All of my presentations have been me showing my designs, so I practice what I want to say before hand. I'm usually presenting once a week, to my product manager, or design team. I don't look at it like a "presentation" more of just showing my work. From one introvert to another, you got this girl!

@sunofsonz Год назад

I can hear you perfectly. This music is just a bit loud and distracting. Thank you so much for your transparency, do you think it's worth it? Would you go back and change anything?

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Noted, thank you, I'll keep that in mind for upcoming videos! I do think it's a worth it for sure, and the only thing I would change is to start sooner and take on more freelance projects to practice my skills.

@mohammedafeef7301 Год назад

I'm not sure if someone else finds this that your vocals are low and the background noise is high.....🙃

@TimandLauren Год назад

I've seen a lot of recent layoffs with UX/Product Designers lately. Since Design/Creative is more subjective, do you ever get scared of job security? Like, what if one month they decide, hmm we want someone who can totally change our interface differently, let's choose this person from singapore/india who are way cheaper Saying this from my own fear lol

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Hey! When it comes to layoffs, in my opinion, it's due to trying to save costs & cut back wherever they can. They would rarely change their whole interface because that would alienate their existing customers. They could get cheap labor but contractors do have their limitations, especially when understanding the American customer. Hope this helps!

@TessaWessa1993 Год назад

During the meetings if you’re not actually talking do they want you to keep your camera on??

@hellostephaniem Год назад

No requirement one way or the other! I just like to keep my camera on to still be somewhat engaged

@ThaARossBoss Год назад

Love your videos but the audio is often too low to really hear you well

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Noted!

@Desireeee126 Год назад

I second this!!

@pandastory-abookseriesabou8568 Год назад

👌🏻 Great

@breezedeep 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing! Love your content! I'm brand new to the field, and have been looking into two programs to land a UX Designer role, an associates degree in Graphic and Interactive Design or a 2nd Masters in Human Centered Design. Do you recommend a graduate degree in this field? I've been told that the industry is seeking a lot more undergrad/certificate based education than a graduate degree. Would you agree?

@hellostephaniem 7 месяцев назад

100% agree! Undergrad and certificates are typically the level of education UX jobs require so I won't go down the grad degree route myself.

@Alex-gu2ws Год назад

Has you job gotten easier the longer you've been in it. I left my UX job, but am considering going back but in a lower level, like a UI designer.

@hellostephaniem Год назад

Yes! It's still challenging but you get used to the work and get more comfortable everyday.
