Career shift advice

Structural engineering to UX? That’s a unique perspective you’ll bring! Designers with diverse backgrounds are in demand. Go for it! 💪

UX is definitely in demand, but it's also a competitive field. You've got that sharp analytical mind from your engineering background, so use it to your advantage! Focus on really understanding users, how information flows, and how people interact with things. Build a strong portfolio that shows how you solve problems with good design. Maybe think about a bootcamp or some online courses to get a solid foundation. So, what really excites you about UX? Is it the user research, the visual design, or maybe the strategic side of things?

Bro...Many UX designers come from non-design backgrounds. Use your structural engineering skills to think systematically—it’s an asset

You really need to dig deep into what UX is all about. Does it actually sound like something you'd really enjoy?

You gotta think about the money too. Can you afford to take the time to learn and maybe even take a pay cut while you're transitioning?

Career change from Structural Engineering to UX Design sounds exciting! 🚀
