A Career in UI/UX- Skills, Tools, and a Blueprint to Pivot Into the Field

User experience (as well as UX research, and user interface) are ranked as top 30 jobs to have in 2021 according to Glassdoor, with salaries starting at $60,000 and well above in metropolitan cities.

But what is user experience? Do you need to learn how to code? Is it engineering? What skills do you need to pivot into the field?

In a quick, 30 minute 101 event, we cover:

1. UI, UX, UX research and the difference between all 3
2. How to start pivoting your skills & growing them
3. How to grow your community and network
4. What the salaries are and job expectations

UX is a field that welcomes a diverse group of thinkers, so if you've ever thought about a career that utilizes psychology, design, art, finance, communication, and technology, come hang out with us. This event is student and beginner friendly!

All attendees get a copy of our e-book on how to pivot and grow in this field. We cover finding jobs, seeking out a mentor, interviews, salary growth, dealing with the imposter syndrome and so much more!
