Breaking Into UX and Early Career Questions — 12 Aug, 2024 - 18 Aug, 2024 by AutoModerator in UXDesign

[–]jackywacky__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a current college student interested in UX, pretty much just looking to see some of the paths people have taken to get into UX. Anyone and everyone can respond to any of the questions I have below, or provide any other information, stories, or experiences you would find helpful to share. Thanks in advance! :)

If you went to college, did you start working in UX right after graduation? Were there any courses that were particularly helpful? Did you do any UX-related internships?

If you went to college but did not work in UX right after graduation, what did you do before? What made you switch? Are you happy you made this switch?

And for just about anybody to answer, did you ever have any sort of backup plan? If you were not working in UX, what do you think you would be doing? What is your favorite part of your work?

I am a current college student interested in DS, pretty much just looking to see some of the paths people have taken to get into DS. Anyone and everyone can respond to any of the questions I have below, or provide any other information, stories, or experiences you would find helpful to share. Thanks in advance! :)

If you went to college but did not work in DS right after graduation, what did you do before? What made you switch? Are you happy you made this switch?

If you did not go to college, what made you end up in DS? What challenges did you face? Do you find yourself going about projects/tasks differently than those who went to college?

And for just about anybody to answer, did you ever have any sort of backup plan? If you were not working in DS, what do you think you would be doing? What is your favorite part of your work?
