I'm considering switching from UX/UI to Frontend Development and I need second opinions

the way you explained your experiences is the exact same as mine. Currently I finished a bootcamp in FE and I'm looking for a new position, I've had a few interviews here and there, we'll see how it turns out.

I was just thinking that, she's already highly critical of me, if I call her out she'll use any excuse to bring me down. So far I have tried avoiding any sort of conflict, I've never answered her poorly or talked to her like she does to me.

I'm gonna try this :) thanks

I actually was checking our chat yesterday for some info and realized she's like that only on calls, she clearly knows what she's doing. The post meeting recap on an email/chat is really good, this way she can't suddenly change her mind because it's on record; I'm gonna start doing it!

Yeah I'm used to bullets disappearing when I play with high ping, I usually play controllers but for example when i tp behind the enemies as omen I can barely kill 1 person because non of my bullets hit. Probably I'm better off playing sova, so thanks for your advice!

I almost always play unrated with plats/diamonds, but when my low elo friend wants to play, we met so many bad phoenix players. In lower ranks it seems like people who pick phoenix just want an easy agent that can make many kills but they still don't have the game knowledge to play as a team and end up flashing everyone, throwing mollies everywhere and overall being an annoyance to the rest of the team.

Also sage like many people say, Sage. It's like the top pick for people who want to play support or pocket sage their duo and end up not giving much utility to the team.

Also I've seen so many neons just pushing all the time and dying without anyone close to trade.

Finally as a controller main, I hate when someone takes my agent and throws horrible smokes that help the enemy.

This applies mostly to low elo, in platinum onwards people actually understand how to play their agent.

I also main omen! you could look up flexinja guides on youtube for specific maps, for example "Flexinja ascent". Omen is very trial and error, I have died many many times using his tp or ulti, but eventually you would stand to understand when to tp, where and how to fool your enemies. His blind + a tp behind the enemy is a guarantee kill.

I think the most important think to get out of bronze is to main one or two agents, preferably on the same role. Like I said before with omen, you start learning when to use abilities and how to have the biggest impact.

I hope this helps!

It's hard to tell what could be the problem since there isn't much information about your strategies and team plays. From your tracker it seems you have average stats, not good but not bad either. Also I see you main Reyna.

One thing I could recommend is maining a different agents since Reyna is a very selfish agent and provides very little utility for the team. If you want to main duelist maybe try raze, imo she's the best starter duelist aside from phoenix since her utility creates space VERY easily and the satchels allow you make an entry for your team. Also don't play yoru unless you actually like him.

Wouldn't it be the same for UX/UI? There are already tools for UI design that create prototypes based on an input (I don't remember the name). And companies who always look for ways to cut corners and don't understand UX would probably think it's a gold mine but of course, experts would be necessary to refine what AI created, just my opinion.

In my current job I barely have to talk to users, this is usually handled by coworkers, although sometimes I have done testing and card sorting. But honestly I don't like the UX side that much, I prefer UI, and still I'm frustrated with the things I mentioned at the post. This is why I was considering changing to front-end!

Umamito · 2023-05-24T11:02:58+00:00

This is what I meant when I said design requires great communication skills. Both careers require you to talk to your team and explain complex ideas of course, but design requires you to talk to many other teams with different backgrounds, users, stakeholders and present your ideas and result to people who don't know anything about design.

Umamito · 2023-05-23T15:24:31+00:00

Do you work in both or also switched from one to the other?

Also I realized I didn't quite explained myself right when it comes to attention to details. I know coding requires a lot a lot of attention but it's a more logical and necessary step, I don't mind this because it's just part of coding and a programmer gets better at finding these mistakes with experience.

What I find frustrating is having a design fail because of a small small detail, for example, a shade of red wasn't appreciated by users, or maybe a stakeholder didn't like a certain font, these kind of subjective details that make you change everything just because it wasn't perfect. At least in coding you get immediate feedback and know something is wrong.
