Considering UX/UI After BCS Graduation, What’s the Reality of UX/UI Careers?
Hi everyone, I made a post here asking for career guidance after graduating with a BCS degree in India. I got many thoughtful replies, and a lot of people suggested exploring UX/UI design. After reading your advice and researching more, I’ve decided to seriously explore UX/UI as a career path because it seems to combine creativity, problem-solving, communication, and tech in a way that genuinely interests me.
But before fully committing to it, I still have some important questions and would really appreciate honest insights from people already working in the field, especially in India.
- What’s the reality of the UX/UI job market in India right now?
- Are opportunities becoming harder for beginners and junior designers? Or Will junior designers struggle more because of AI?
- Is UX/UI still a safe career to invest time in?
- If someone focuses deeply on user experience, research, psychology, and problem-solving instead of only making screens look good, does that make the career more secure long-term?
- What do you think the future of UX/UI will look like in the next 5–10 years?
- Will AI mainly replace repetitive UI work, or do you think it could heavily affect the whole field?
- What is the salary reality for UX/UI design jobs in India?
- If you were starting your career today from scratch, would you still choose UX/UI, or something else?
- Or are there better creative career paths I should consider?
I’d truly appreciate hearing your honest experiences and advice. Your insights and experiences would genuinely help me a lot.
Thank you again to everyone who helped on my previous post.
