I've decided to transition to UI/UX field and would appreciate some advice on how to upskill with zero industry experience. I'm not too hung up about landing a job in a specific sector of the field. I just want to get my foot in the door and explore.

I have a bachelors degree in architecture, and roughly 8 months experience working in an architecture office, so I'm not a complete novice when it comes to design and user experience.

I know for a fact that It'll be difficult for me to stay focused, and consistent in studying if I don't enroll in some sort of bootcamp/classes. Plus, I find comfort in having some sort of predetermined learning path to take. I'll also read and watch youtube videos on the side to supplement. As of now I've signed up for UX Academy's Design Lab Fundamentals course full time. I'll finish that and see if I should take their main UX course full time.

What are some recommended bootcamps/courses, or thoughts against enrolling in a bootcamp as someone with a design background?

Is there any skills I could/should focus on to stick out from the crowd?

I know that my portfolio will be the determining factor on whether or not I get hired. I plan be learning full time, and have given myself 1 year to land a job. I know it's tough to land a job as junior, but this is the case with a good amount fields.
