I’ve been meaning to start this course:

I realise this isn’t directly answering your questions but if you choose to go the self taught route perhaps it’ll be of help.

Nu ma surprinzi, ce invatati la liceu din pacate e cam paralel cu ce inseamna programarea in general.

Insa daca chiar nu-ti pace programarea propriu zisa, sunt alte chestii "similare" din acelasi domeniu, de exemplu UX/design:

Google launched its UX Course quite some time ago. Not sure if it's directed towards the developers but you can check it out here. Really glad to see that someone is actually committed to the craft of Web Development.

Your work is beautiful but a portfolio of weird architectural illustrations is next to worthless for getting a graphic design job. Graphic designers don’t draw, they hire illustrators to draw for them. You could probably find work as a freelance illustrator or concept artist.

If you want to get into UX Google created a free online certification course: https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

I think you can easily aim for a tech lead role. You have been taking ownership of all these projects which says a lot. You are getting the interviews so that means you can pass the qualification stage.

Just keep in mind that passing the interview is a different ball game. You can look up skills on this frontend track here and try to bridge the gaps.
You may also consider doing this Google UX course to bridge any skills gap.

Steve jobs said:
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.
So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

What about UI/UX design? It's not exactly art, but there's definitely an artistic element to it (coming up with how a website/app/etc should look & making it pretty), and it def hits hard on the hyperfixating on tiny details, organizing, & anticipating the needs of others. Technically a desk job, but very common to do freelance where you're working on your own schedule in your own preferred environment (e.g. curled up on the couch, from that one cozy cafe you love, etc). And is a big growing field, with entry level stuff but also huge opportunities for growth. May want to try out one of the many free online courses around it (even if only for like an hour or two) if you suspect it's a field you may be interested in!

You should try out Google's UX Design Professional certification on Coursera. If you love that, you may not even need an MBA and this is way cheaper! https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

Is only Google UX Design certificate enough for me to find a job in the field? Below the average pay for UX is fine. Also I'd appreciate a reply from someone from Poland even more, because I know it often depends on the country.

I have done Dan’s course it’s very good. Was my first intro to UX last year. Been hearing some good things about the google UX certification it’s pretty new - https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design?utm_source=gg&utm_medium=sem&utm_campaign=15-GoogleUXDesign-ROW&utm_content=15-GoogleUXDesign-ROW&campaignid=12566638067&adgroupid=119528847037&device=m&keyword=google%20ux&matchtype=p&network=g&devicemodel=&adpostion=&creativeid=507197228313&hide_mobile_promo&gclid=Cj0KCQjwse-DBhC7ARIsAI8YcWLKaKJibskxvRNWbXeMf-oQOv-22890N-ypE2pIgzK1ynAbDPv8TEcaAm4pEALw_wcB

I looked into it and it can be very general - falling under "UX Designer" or specialized as just a writer. Only very large companies are likely to have dedicated UX writers. They are also going to want you to be very familiar with the entire cycle from design to delivery. I would say take an introductory online course in UX design to get an idea if you find the entire process from "design sprint" to wireframing, etc. interesting. Knowing Adobe XD or at least Figma would go a long way to perking up your resume. Coursera has a very involved course that is 26 weeks (you can do it in half the time, if you persist.)

This sounds like a great "design" problem to solve :P

I'm on the same ocean: have researched about the job and looking to make the shift, have an idea how to do the thing, but find the doing the thing part overwhelming. But one of the things I've learned while studying is that we want to fail fast and fail forward so we are guided what to do next. Feedback from others is critical in this, so I'd recommend to join communities!

I personally cannot afford a bootcamp so I've done my research on some good online courses for structured learning, which I'm also taking. You can check out User Experience (UX): The Ultimate Guide to Usability and UX course by David Travis on Udemy or Google UX Certificate Program on Coursera for starters. The critique about the latter is it's very Google-centric so it's good to complement it with other learning materials, but the deliverables are structured well enough for beginners.

I hope that helps. Happy learning!

Thanks for the info.

\> a free Google UX/UI course

Are you refering to the free course, https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design it's free for 7 days. $19.9 monthly.

It appears Google have just released a certification on Cousera. Whilst this isn't strictly going to get you certified in Material Design, if you are serious about paying for a structured course this looks like a solid one. Although it does seem like it's more UX focussed. https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

Its split into 7 courses:

  1. Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design
  2. Start the UX Design Process: Empathize, Define, and Ideate
  3. Build Wireframes and Low-Fidelity Prototypes
  4. Conduct UX Research and Test Early Concepts
  5. Create High-Fidelity Designs and Prototypes in Figma
  6. Responsive Web Design in Adobe XD
  7. Design a User Experience for Social Good & Prepare for Jobs

7 Day free trial, the whole thing takes about 6 months at about 10 hours a week. Then $39/month, if completed in 6 months about $300.

However, as others have said I would recommend reading the Google Material Design documentation and using it to build components. If you are competent in UI/UX Design principles this is the best way to learn Material Design.

Hi, I don't know about levels of universities, there is however a growing trend of online courses and certificates. Google/coursera especially , eg:

https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

You could consider taking this course or simular, it would really help with building a professional portfolio and also to decide if it was what you wanted to do.

Good question! There are definitely resources.

I went the self-taught route with some free classes sprinkled in so I cannot recommend a bootcamp for accessibility or UX.

I started out by gaining more experience with UX in general before familiarizing myself with accessibility as the accessibility documents would reference principles of UX which ended up being somewhat confusing without context.

Resources for UX in general UX Google Course - you can audit this courses from this program. I would use this if you are not familiar with the UX process or the field in general.

The Sprint Book: this is a great book to familiarize yourself with product design cycle, how agile environment work in practice and more.

Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction - I have the 4th edition but I don’t know how much difference there is between editions. This is a textbook style for UX design that gave very good context for the history of UX, current practices, examples etc.

Accessibility specific Web Content Accessibility Guide (WCAG): this is the standard that everyone refers for digital accessibility standards. It is on edition 3.0 and it is DENSE. It is really helpful but it is easier to understand if you are trying to solve an issue like typography selection and go to that section of the guide to figure out what the standards are rather than reading the guide front to back. I kind of think of it as the OTPF but way more specific on what standards are expected.

A11y Project: this website breaks down standards from WCAG in a Way more friendly way.

Carbon design system: Accessibility - also has great resources for picking accessible colors etc.

Figma has plugs in for color blind and color contrast checkers.

That is what I can think of on the top of my head. If I think of more, I’ll come back and edit the comment to add it.

I’m also on mobile so it is tedious to add links. I will add all links when I have time later!

Well, it should be technical or non-technical?

Technical: CyberSec is good, 2 years back I came across a man's profile. He was officially full-time bug bounty hunter (you must have witnessed, how people were posting screenshot of the amount earned from bug bounty on Linkedin, IG and social media). You can get to leave India too, plus little programming is required and at higher levels you can use python only as told by people on reddit.

Other fields are content creators and bloggers and etc which can't help to you leave India. Coz right now tech is the only fields through which, and in upcoming future you can leave country. We are not CFA or some commerce graduates in order to leave the country with other domains.

UX is not hard to get in, but entry level competition is tough, someone in r/cscareerquestions sub or r/jobs asked similar thing, he was a U.S citizen. That man already joined a bootcamp and many told him it's hard to get a entry level job. Don't have any idea about product, but still consider cybersec or UX .If you feel like you can get in U.X go for it. U.X will require wireframing, mockups and understanding people as first and keeping them 1st priority. You have to gather people for testing too, got some time? then check Google UX design course or learnux.io . I had taken intro classes during '19 lockdown, both are very good courses. The Google one is more theory for learnux you can get a premium sub if you feel like you need. skillshare.com is the best place if you are serious and it's membership for a year brings you unlimited courses on design and other.

There are plenty of places that you can get your certification.

This one is offered by local Uni:
https://www.iss.nus.edu.sg/executive-education/course/detail/digital--user-experience-design/digital-innovation-design

This one is offered by online course:
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

This one is offered by NTUC Learninghub:
https://www.ntuclearninghub.com/course/hfi-ux-1-usability-engineering-course/

Generally UX courses doesn't come with UI. Just look around the word User Experience.

Not sure about udemy courses(I took many of ZTM's programming courses and really liked them, they have one for uiux design but I didnt take that one) but I would recommend the following resources for learning ui/ux design

https://refactoringui.com/
https://learnui.design/blog/

You can take the google ux design courses on coursera for free. Choose the individual course, click enroll for free, choose audit at the bottom(though you wont get the certificate).
