I’m 35 years old and want to do a career shift to UX. I keep reading posts and comments though about how competitive it is for experienced UX designers and how the market is even smaller with AI now. Is this true? Is there no hope for me? I studied business and worked in the humanitarian field so I have no background at all in UX but I have always wanted to work in that field. I am currently unemployed and wanted to start studying some online courses. Any thoughts/tips are appreciated. Thank you.
