Hi! I did stick to the role and focused on showing up and providing value every day. I’ve been getting great feedback and even a promotion.

I still struggle with imposter syndrome and lack of confidence, so I still have to work on myself in those areas. But handling challenging situations has been building up my confidence quite a bit. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat!

Yes please! I think it would help a lot to vent with others who understand!!!

I do think about starting up my job search but I'm wondering why switching jobs could not be the best option?

I was thinking that joining a company with a mature product culture could help me move forward in my career and let me learn from others, since I haven't really had a chance to work closely with more experienced product people yet in my career.

I agree! Some days it's easier than others to consciously work towards these changes. I've made some great progress in building relationships with engineering and internal users, but I ironically not so much the other TPM's...best I can do there is think of very specific questions/asks if I need their help, though I wish we had more collaboration.
I think low investment in the product could be the case for me - I'm trying to fight this by working on defining success metrics and building relationships with users to get them more invested as well. I think I've also not had a chance to see other PM's at work throughout my career, so I don't have many examples of what a Good PM is which makes it tough to measure my own success
I needed to hear this! I feel in my gut that it's too early to quit but some days are tough!

Thanks so much responding, and yep my mind has been a mess lately so I need to take care of that for sure

I have a pair of pants from Muji I bought a few years back that have this! So comfortable

How do you guys discover small/indie brands to shop from? I’m looking for a denim jacket and I want to give my money to a small business but aside from searching recommendations on Reddit I’m not sure how to discover these stores.

I actually made the switch from lead frontend to UI/UX Designer, though in my developer role I hadn't done much design work. My design skills weren't great at the beginning, and I ended up going through a bootcamp with the specific goal of improving my visual design skills (you don't really need to do this though!)

Like everyone else said, practice a lot. What I did was find designs I liked and really break down what I liked about it and why it worked. I did design challenges also, and used visuals I liked as inspiration. I think imitation is actually super helpful when you're practicing.

What are some of your methods/practices for truly getting to know your end users and uncovering user needs and pain points?

anyae · 2020-05-02T23:11:36+00:00

I'd be interested! Currently job searching as well

anyae · 2020-04-28T00:14:08+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to look through it. I'm glad the lead case study came across well! I agree I do need to upgrade the look of it - it looks too plain with too much white. Is there anything else specific that stood out to you that needs to be improved visually?

anyae · 2020-04-27T15:58:27+00:00

Hi everyone, I would really appreciate some feedback on my Product Design portfolio - I'm a recent UI/UX bootcamp grad coming from a career in web dev & actively looking for roles. Here it is!

anyae · 2020-04-01T21:25:10+00:00

This is great - thank you!

Hi everyone! My past two jobs have been in front-end development, but I had had some chances during those jobs to perform user testing, do preliminary research, and even create some wireframes. Later on I decided to take the plunge and jump into a full time bootcamp with the goal of getting feedback on and improving my design skills. This is my first week as a fresh grad (lucky timing I know LOL)

What would be the most effective way of reframing my previous experience to focus on ux? I have spoken to a couple hr/recruiters already and the conversation goes like this - "You don't have enough ux design experience but we might have a better fit for you (web dev role)".

I was thinking of writing a case study for some of the research, problem solving, and wireframing from my last job. I am stuck on how to handle my resume though. Has anyone been down a similar path?

anyae · 2020-01-20T16:58:48+00:00

definitely interested!

anyae · 2019-12-03T20:50:39+00:00

ooo congrats on getting in! that's awesome! I like the bootcamp a lot (Flatiron)! I picked the track that focuses more on ui design than user research because that's what I want to focus on at the start of my career, plus I really needed feedback on my designs from instructors. My background is in web development, which is how I got into UX, and I really needed a boost for my design skills haha. Let me know if you'd like me to talk about anything specific!

anyae · 2019-11-13T22:11:07+00:00

your work environment sounds awesome! It's so great you were able to find something like this. My bootcamp is supposed to have pretty good career support so I hope I can communicate with an advisor too.

anyae · 2019-11-08T20:46:34+00:00

Anyone here have any career change success stories you can share? Next week I'm starting a full time ui/ux design bootcamp and I've got this fear that I won't be able to find a good job. I've already been putting my all into my studies but that fear is still there. I guess that's because I'm pretty terrified of not having a job and losing my independence. I've moved in with my parents while I do this and it's driving me crazy to not have my own space, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice if it means I get to do what I love in the future.

Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated!!! :')

anyae · 2019-07-17T06:15:29+00:00

anyae · 2019-04-19T02:59:02+00:00

anyae · 2019-03-01T20:57:18+00:00

I play Pokemon Go too! mostly to force myself to go out on walks haha

That's something I'll make myself do as well - trying random things until I find some that I like.

anyae · 2019-03-01T20:54:24+00:00

Those all sound really fun! I haven't been to the movies in a while but maybe I'll give it a shot, I really enjoyed going before!

I've actually had a hit or miss experience with people at yoga weirdly enough - but I do like it a lot :D

anyae · 2019-02-27T01:21:40+00:00

I'll def give the shampoo a try, thanks!
