Thinking about switching to Product Design at 33 — realistic path or bad timing?
Hi everyone,
I’m 33 and considering transitioning into Product Design. I’ve built a few mobile apps, and during the process I realized I really enjoy everything related to UX/UI — thinking about user flows, interfaces, and how people interact with products.
Now I’m seriously thinking about focusing on this path, but I want to be realistic before going all in.
Is Product Design still a good career choice in today’s market?
What should I focus on to become competitive?
And for those who started later or switched careers — what challenges should I expect?
I’m open to any advice, hard truths, or things you wish you knew before starting.
Thanks in advance 🙏
