Do Self-Taught UX Professionals Get Equal Opportunity?

At the beginning of 2024, DesignWhine conducted an extensive online survey targeting approximately 1,000 UX professionals from 17 countries, including India, the USA, Nigeria, Ghana, the UK, Mexico, Austria, and Hungary, among others. Our respondents comprised both full-time employees and freelancers working in UX, with a diverse mix of individuals holding formal degrees and those who are self-taught.

This issue highlights the findings of the survey and looks into various aspects of UX careers, including career progression, education background, and the challenges faced by professionals.
