[IWantOut] 26F Philippines UX/Product Design -> Spain/Portugal/UK
Hi, I’m from the Philippines and I want to migrate to europe, with the countries above as priority because culture wise it’s not too far from mine to adjust to. If people that know the job market in europe have some input for this field and the demand, I am open to consider other countries in the region. I have around 3 years of work experience now. I am aiming to gather enough work experience that would qualify me for companies I could apply as an international applicant to sponsor for work.
Some background about me is I graduated Game Development as my Bachelor’s Degree and majored in Game Art and Design. 1st job was at a small remote UK startup game studio doing both 3D game assets, UI/UX, and marketing assets that lasted for 1 yr 4 months after being laid off. Fully transitioned to UX in my current company entering as an associate and got promoted to mid-level in 7 months since Sept last year. The work I do now is specific to UX/Product for B2B ecommerce and as I check often, there’s quite a market that focuses on this domain for UX designers. My company is from the UK and has global branches in the world and is not primarily as a pure software development company. Our branch is just the digital services department that I work in. Now I’ve been working here for 1 yr 5 months and ongoing.
What are my chances? Any tips or recommendations to make my chances higher or if there’s another approach I could do that’s applicable in my case?
