In recent years, more and more people have devoted themselves to the field of UI design, but the employment standards of enterprises have been rising. This has led to a situation where it is difficult for junior UI designers to find jobs and it is difficult for companies to recruit people. Moreover, according to statistics from major platforms, UI design has been one of the most competitive positions in the Internet industry in recent years, so the UI design industry in 2021 is not optimistic for junior UI designers.
Although the competition in the UI design industry is fierce, the development of the UI design industry is still very good from the overall direction. 1. Salary changes in UI design
Looking at the salary increase of UI design, the average salary of UI design is rising every year. The average salary of UI design nationwide is now about 10,000. Although the salary of UI design is not the highest in the Internet industry, the salary of UI design is still much higher than that of many traditional design industries.
Of course, the above analysis is only the national average salary of UI design, but not everyone can reach the average level, and it is not limited to this level. The specific salary still needs to be based on personal ability. Go and decide. 2. Market demand for UI design
UI design market In the Internet era, most companies have realized how important it is to attract more potential customers through online information. The impression these potential customers have on your company and products depends largely on how much effort you put into website design. Corporate websites and e-commerce platforms are also indispensable communication platforms and C-side independent trading platforms for enterprises in the Internet environment, and are the mainstream in the Internet industry. This is only part of the development needs of web UI design. With the popularization of smartphones and the advent of the 5G era, the demand for APPs is even more immeasurable.
Judging from recruitment websites, there are still tens of thousands of UI design recruitment information across the country, but the number of recruitments varies in different cities. For example, if there are many Internet companies in first-tier cities, the demand will naturally be high. If there are few Internet companies in third- and fourth-tier cities, the demand will be relatively small.
There is demand in the market, but why is it difficult for so many people to find a UI design job?
In fact, it is because the market requirements are getting higher and higher. Most students and fresh graduates who have just graduated from training institutions on the market can only meet the job of junior UI design, but there are a large number of junior UI design jobs every year. UI designs are flooding into the market, and there is only so much demand for junior UI designers, which has caused the junior UI design market to be saturated, thus creating the illusion that it is difficult to find employment in UI designers.
We use the number of market recruitment to make a simple analysis of the market demand for junior UI design. There are more than 21,900 UI design recruitment information nationwide, and about 600 recruitment information for fresh graduates. We simply judge the level of UI design based on years of work experience. For the time being, UI designs with less than one year of work experience are considered junior UI designs. There are more than 7,000 job postings for UI designers with one to three years of work experience on the market. We give half of them to UI designers with one year of work experience. The job postings for junior UI designers are among all the job postings for UI design. The proportion is (350600)/219000=18.7%.
So, the UI design market is not saturated, but the market requirements are getting higher and higher, and it is difficult for junior UI designers to find a satisfactory job. Although the field of UI design has good prospects in the future, you should be cautious if you want to switch to UI design, because not everyone can occupy their own place in the highly competitive UI design industry. If you want to achieve better development in the field of UI design, you can only make the market optimistic by improving yourself and adapting to market changes.
