Planning To Move From Graphics Design To Frontend, Is It Worth It? by KobeMan: 8:11am On Jun 24, 2024 |
I'm a 31 year old graphic designer running two jobs & I'm quite comfortable financially but very busy. I hardly have free time. Planning to drop one of those jobs so I can have time complete my frontend Dev training & manage the other job for now, I can use react/next to an extent, I set a target of 3 - 6 months to complete the training. I just want to know if its worth it. I need advice of experienced programmers here, Thanks. |

KobeMan: You need to be aware that to be elevated in your career and exceptionally good at what you do, then it means you have to choose one. If you want to go fully into Freelancing (Upwork, Fiverr etc) then having both skill is great but if you want to have a steady 9-5, then you have to choose one. Only crappy Nigerian companies hire one person to do both jobs, designer & Front-end developer. Secondly, you will need to move from "Graphic Designer" tag to "Product Designer" in the future because that is where the career path is, so that you can work for companies like Toptal etc. Choose your career path early, else you'd be caught in limbo in the future. |
