UX/UI Careers & Job Outlook

UX/UI design has become increasingly important to organizations as business is now commonly conducted almost entirely online. And, just as a good user experience can help retain customers, a bad user experience can negatively impact ROI and market share for companies that rely on websites and applications to engage customers. As a result, UX researcher and UX design jobs are anticipated to be success drivers for businesses moving forward.

When it comes to hiring UX/UI professionals, Texas is second in the nation, with 1,534 annual job postings and a median salary of $81,000 per year. In addition, UX/UI positions are anticipated to grow at 8.4% through 2030. (Burning Glass Technologies, 2021).

Technical and financial services companies are among the top employers for UX/UI designers.
These professionals help bridge the gap between clients and end-users through engaging, intuitive designs and employ soft skills such as empathy and teamwork to help meet organizational goals.

UX researchers, on the other hand, help financial institutions better understand fintech app customer requirements, as well as assist tech companies in identifying the right product functionality to provide users with easy solutions for challenges in their day-to-day lives.
