 One thing I regret not having earlier in my UX design career. If I had it, I'll be a much better designer sooner Which is don't estimate the value of a design coach slash mental. Having someone that has your back to give you advice and guidance will help you refine your thinking, give you a different perspective, accelerate your feedback cycles, get you through tough times, build your confidence, progress your career faster and make you more money. Find someone who has been where you were, has been through adversity and is successful. Design is tough and competitive. A coach will help you stand out from the pack. It's really worth the investment.
