Hey thank for the information you provided its a wealth of information. Did your masters degree help you with this career? do you need a degree in order to pursue it, if not what are the requirements?
THANK YOU! For these videos. Real information is hard to find. I’m working on my masters in UX while I work remotely. This is great motivation to keep moving forward
You're welcome! Glad to hear the videos have been helpful and feel free to drop any ideas for future videos below - happy to add them to my list of upcoming content ideas. Good luck with your masters!
Thanks so much for the kind words, it really means a lot 🥹 And YES, we should ask for what we want and deserve, it's definitely nerve-racking at first but the worst thing that could happen is that they say no so might as well try. Thanks for the support! 💛
thanks for taking the time to put this entire breakdown together. I get it, it's not easy to get to a place like Google but it's encouraging to hear we could all do it too 😊
You're very welcome! And I meant it, in fact, I think some folks have the opportunity to get here earlier than I did, especially with the awareness that it's possible! :)
Thank you so much for this video! I am so grateful for you! I also admire how far you've come. I'm graduating this coming summer with MSc in HCI and I am a little bit scared about the job market. I am in Vancouver, Canada and the job market here seems saturated (or maybe, that's what my current situated view is ). Regardless though, you just made me realize that I should focus on advancing my creative endeavor and just live now to keep on bringing my wild ideas into life - providing the best possible interfaces to the world and who knows.. maybe, maybe one day, I'll be where you're at! Blessings to your beautiful soul🙏🙏
You're very welcome, and thank you so much for the positive feedback - it really means a lot 😊. Also, congratulations on your upcoming graduation; that's so exciting! I think it's useful to be aware of the job market, but I wouldn't overfocus on the problems right now. Instead, do your best to work around the current conditions, because focusing on the problems can be really demotivating. It took me two years to get to Google in my late twenties, not counting the previous three years I spent studying architecture (which I didn't end up using) and the previous five years in undergrad while working as an interior designer. So, hold on to that positive mindset that you already have and keep working towards your goals, because I truly believe you'll make it there on your own terms. You've got this, and thank you for being here! ✨🤍
nice! do you work remotely? I work remotely for US companies but from Colombia! almost 10 years of experience now. As UI UX designer, and ive always wanted to maybe in a future work in the US but remotely 100%.
when you said ´´my background in architecture´´ my jaw dropped. I´m currently a junior architect at the top architecture firm in my country and thinking of switching to ux design already. great video and channel!
There are a lot of UXers that don't have a formal UX background. Architecture is not unheard of as a previous job. If you have the chops to think through all of the things with architecture, you probably have the right mindset and thoroughness for UX.
@@akjhdkjahskjdlfI have noticed this as I've done more research about UX! it can't be a coincidence that many architects move into that field. It's kind of like architecture for the digital world in a way, plus it includes the design aspects every architect longs for (& rarely gets to work with) in their career especially while working in a big office. Thanks for the comment it's motivating
You both hit the nail on the head! It's super common to see architects transition to UX, along with other disciplines like industrial design. I believe that, no matter what your formal design education is focused in, design thinking can be applied to any problem and the only thing that changes is the output and perhaps the tools you use to get there (Figma, CAD, Maya, etc). IMO, that's the beauty of being a designer, you don't have to constrain yourself to a particular discipline - you can always evolve, pivot, and/or grow throughout your career.
@@rahpstudiothat's so fantastic thanks for the reply. industrial design sounds fascinating to me as well. I think I just have a lot of energy and passion for good design. Thanks for the awesome videos that you do!
Oh no, SDEs make more, especially in stock options, but it's not an outrageous amount more. Generally it's UXD < PM < ENG. Check out levels.fyi to get a better idea by role.
Please, please let us know about the conversation of a sign on Bonus, I have imposter syndrome and then when a recruiter/ mentors talk to me they make me feel amazing so I need a better understanding how I can reduce my imposter syndrome to get better bonuses.
Oh don't feel bad at all, we all get impostor syndrome so it's not just you :D My approach was very straightforward, actually, I just told the recruiter why I needed a larger bonus (moving, family, market research) and then waited to see if they agree or not. My philosophy is there's no point in being scared because the worst thing they can say is no so what do you have to lose? 😉

You are SUCH a gem! Thank you for your transparency and also for the reminder that we can ASK for what we WANT and what we DESERVE. Thank you Ricardo!

Got to say, I like the captions that are baked into the video.
Oh that's great feedback. I stopped doing it because they overlap if someone sets captions in a different language but I liked them too.
thanks for taking the time to put this entire breakdown together. I get it, it's not easy to get to a place like Google but it's encouraging to hear we could all do it too 😊

YES! OMG Finally! Thank you so much for this video and your transparency.
You're very welcome! Glad you found it helpful 😊.

Mama, this is what I've been waiting for 💰💰💰
Glad you found it helpful! :D
Glad I came across this!
nice! do you work remotely? I work remotely for US companies but from Colombia! almost 10 years of experience now. As UI UX designer, and ive always wanted to maybe in a future work in the US but remotely 100%.
What a bless to find your channel!
That's so sweet, thank you for being here! 😊

Great video 👍
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful 💪
Thank you for posting! Do you have any intership recommendations? Where’d you go?
You're very welcome! Are you asking about companies that I recommended for UX internships?
Yes what you recommend!
Also, do you mind sharing where you did your internship?
Can you do a video about performance reviews?
Oh, what particular questions did you have?
Does UXDs & SDEs earn the same ? Is your salary same as a SSE at Google ?
Oh no, SDEs make more, especially in stock options, but it's not an outrageous amount more. Generally it's UXD < PM < ENG. Check out levels.fyi to get a better idea by role.
@@rahpstudio what about UXR ? Is theirs same as UXD ?
I’m actually not sure. Either the same or a little less.

@@rahpstudio Thank you, I am actually in my 2nd round of interviews for a position at Google so this came at a great time!
