How to choose your UX roles
Start as a generalist
In the early stages of your career, aim to touch every part of the design process.
Get experience in UX research, UI design, prototyping, user testing, and more.
Learn and soak everything in
The more areas you explore, the better.
Expose yourself to different aspects of UX and uncover unknowns—things you didn’t even know you didn’t know.
Discover your interests
Over time, you’ll start to notice which areas of design you’re most passionate about.
Seek feedback
Ask others—colleagues, mentors, or peers—for feedback on what they think your strengths are.
This will help you get a clearer picture of where you excel.
Don’t rush to choose a role
You don’t have to decide on one specific role right away.
Focus on exploring and developing a broad skill set.
Narrow your focus when applying
When it’s time to apply for jobs, have a clearer idea of what kind of company, opportunities, and roles you're looking for.
