| Comment | Hey :) full time product designer just sharing my two cents on the matter. It all depends on what your career goals are - do you want to work in smaller companies, agencies, large companies, in house, freelance?
Whilst UI design jobs do exist, do bear in mind that for you to be great at the job, you do need to have a solid understanding of good UX because great UI is about the entire experience as a whole, and not just visual components.
It isn't as easy as just making something look great. If you're keen on switching to this, there's plenty of great and free resources out there to get you started. I'd start with understanding all the theories and concepts first i.e:
* Brad Frost's Atomic Design
* Laws of UX
* Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda
Start by studying other successful products - what made it work? And then, you can start practicing all of these yourself through self initiated projects.
