I want to transition back to UX in the tech industry, but I’m worried that I’ll only be qualified for an entry-level position

. My goal is to land a new job in six months. I’d like to use this time to strengthen my application and connections. How can I best set myself up for success?First, I’d like to acknowledge that this person’s fears are totally legitimate. This is a common scenario in tech, where someone will join a scaling startup that has limited resources but ambitious growth goals.

Combine the above with their experience in project management and you suddenly have a compelling case that they can use to sell themselves as being a much more capable candidate than someone coming in at entry-level. Find a UX designer’s job description on the web, one with a few years of experience. Use LinkedIn to find UX design companies. Find its designers and look at their profiles and take note: How are you similar or different?
