 What's up guys, in this video we're going to talk about is UX design a good career? We're going to talk about salary, design career path, tips and tricks, you're not going to want to miss it. Let's go. So guys, let's jump straight into it. Flashing up on the screen now is a chart I've put together and you'll see this is the career path that you can expect as a UX designer, as a UI designer or someone who works in the digital design space. And this works agencies, in-house companies. And it's an average of somewhat like it's my experience of how the industry works working in the UK. And it's also you can see the salaries here on the right that I've got from my research online. You know, it's all totally transparent as websites like Glassdoor.com Indeed, we go and check these salaries out. These are just an average obviously it depends what city you're in, what country you're in. But this is, you know, just an overview level. So you can see there's two different sides to this diagram. There's the left hand side, which is craft leadership, and then the right hand side, which is people leadership. And this is something that everybody starts off, you know, being a practitioner. And that's been a junior designer that might be just coming out of university, coming out of college, getting your first step in the door. And the average salary for that's quite good. So it's 58,500 in the US. In the UK, maybe if you're London based, it's around £30,000. And, you know, maybe do some research to see where you are in the world. But that's a really good salary. And this is where you're going to hone your craft. And then there's practitioner levels, which are going to work your way up. So after a couple of years, maybe you'll become a designer. So and then every couple to years you want to you don't want to move around too much. That's probably one of the mistakes I learned early on in my career, moving around trying to get up the ladder quickly. But sometimes it is you can do it and you can get up quick. But sometimes you might find the company that you really like to work with and try and decide that is best for your lifestyle to stay within that company. And I think the higher up you get, the more the company appreciates you sticking around and not jumping around for jobs. So yes, it's easy to get to like senior designer level. You can do that in a few years from my experience. If you change jobs, you almost give yourself promotion. But then you've got to almost start again in the company and learn all the stuff. So it's up to you how you take it. But designer level, the salary jumps up to 80 grand, then, you know, in your 100,000 pound for senior design level, which is great. And then, you know, you get you're getting up into the higher 125, 150, 170 for the senior practitioner level. So to get to lead designer and principal designer, you're talking 10 years in the field, because at principal level, you're overseeing a group of designers, and you're going to be the go to person for all the questions. And you're also going to be involved in a lot more business elements. Then once you then get to practitioner level or the top of the practitioner level, it's up to you if you want to jump over to people leadership. And this is where design managers come in, head of design, and so on. And this is where the salaries jump up to so you can go as high as you want. There depends on the company size company, obviously Google pays a lot more than other companies. But then you're almost more managing people. So you're managing teams, you're managing less hands on projects and more strategy about how you're going to do like testing, you're going to think about all that stuff, think about the strategy. And it depends on your personality type. My career path has been more practitioner. I enjoy doing the work. And I haven't moved over into the people management side of the year. But that depends, you might be you might be more enjoy that side of the work and enjoy the strategizing. So it's up to you where you go. But UX is a fantastic career choice. There's plenty of growth. And then if you move over onto the people management side, you can then grow within the company, you might become head of design, then you might become head of a program of work, and you can move up through the company to like CEO level like that. But obviously you stop design ends ahead of design. But then you might have your design hat and you might be able to educate people in the business about how wide design is good. But that's when you move over to people. And it's really up to you which way you go. But you obviously have to start a practitioner level, work your way up to lead designer. And then you've got a choice, which way do you want to go and whether there's opportunities in your company to do that. So I hope you enjoyed that video.
