I have ~3 years of experience working as a UX/Product Designer in fintech, and I’m now trying to move beyond execution into more strategic thinking (problem framing, business impact, decision-making, etc.).
I’m considering doing a structured course or program to strengthen this side of my skillset. I’m also wondering if having a well-known institute name (like IIT/IIM or a reputed international university) actually adds value from a hiring or credibility standpoint.
For those who’ve been in a similar position:
- Did any course/program genuinely help you level up in UX strategy?
- Does a brand name (IIT/IIM or abroad) make a real difference, or is it mostly about portfolio + experience?
- If you’ve taken any courses that were actually worth it, I’d really appreciate specific recommendations.
Would love honest advice before I invest time and money into this.
