 Career hacks that 2x my income as a UX designer. Part one, in the early days of my UX career, I was overworked, stressed, unfulfilled 24-7, and barely earning a minimum salary. But life changed for the better when I started applying these career hacks. If you want to work less and earn more, let's dive in. Frequently update your portfolio and your CV. How frequent? Not just when you're applying for UX jobs. By that time, you would have forgot most of what you did. Instead, add work as soon as a project is finished. It's still fresh in your memory. It's easier to go into detail and measure the impact. Become indispensable by turning yourself into a source of value. Help your team in needed times. Grow with your team, not by yourself. Take initiatives on new projects. Provide solutions for your manager when problems arise. Establish solid credibility by building a proven track record. What you do, the day-to-day work, how you do it, your design process and methods, why you do it, the results, the values and the impact.
