How to Become a UI/UX Designer in 2023?

If I were to start from scratch today as a UI/UX designer, based on my four years of experience and the rapid advancements in AI, this is the path I’d take. I’ve crafted this blog to answer potential questions someone new to UI/UX design might have.

Questions I’ll Address:

- Where to start?
- Should I enrol in a UI/UX boot camp or pursue a master’s degree in Interaction Design?
- How do I land my first job?
- How can I determine if my portfolio is up to par?
- What salary should I expect in my first job?
- With AI’s rapid growth, is the UI/UX industry still a good choice?
- How can I transition into UI/UX Design?

Before we start here is why I am the right person to answer these questions
I’m a self-taught UI/UX Designer, currently working from home in India for a London-based company. I began my career as a freelancer, then joined a startup in Bangalore, and eventually, this company. I have 3 years of experience.

I’ve tried to cover most of the questions I receive from followers on my LinkedIn and via email. If there’s something I’ve missed, please drop it in the comments, and I’ll be happy to address it.
