I am Saif Ahmed from Bangladesh, studied Bachelor's in Business Administration from BRAC University and I have 3 years+ design experience in social media contents.
For the last 3 years, I have been designing social media contents; static mostly. Coming from a business major in my university, I have always wanted to pursue my higher studies in design. I personally never felt any further interests in business background after completing my undergrad.
Last year, I have joined a startup with the responsibilities of designing their in-app elements along with some social media contents and I got to know some surface level knowledge in UX/UI. As I was working for a digital product, these user experience and interface related functions and tweaks has driven my interest into interaction design.
However, with the news of many industrial level layoffs and Ai takeovers made me feel insecure and afraid about pursuing my career in this field. But I want to be confident about myself and aspire to be better in UI/UX. For higher studies in Interaction Design, I have selected US as my primary destination as there are so many prestigious design schools/colleges in there; MS in Information Experience Design in Pratt Institute is my top priority currently.
Before I bite the bullet, I want to take some key insights and valuable advices from this community. Hope ya'll will be helpful enough to share your personal thoughts and experiences. TIA.
