 Five reasons why junior UX designers can't move up in your UX career ladder. If you're making these mistakes, I'm calling you a part two. Reason four, you're prioritizing the wrong thing. Priorities are the make it, break it sort of deal in your UX career. If you prioritize money over experience or a fancy degree over an actual portfolio, rethink and re-prioritize. ASAP, reason five, you get comfortable. You get comfortable, you get comfortable. You may reach a point in your career where you just feel comfortable with everything. Well, that's a red flag.
