Hi there! My name is Hafi and I'm from CuriousCore (
https://curiouscore.com). We specialise in helping mid-career professionals transit into the UX industry. I came across this thread and wanted to share with anyone who is going through a rough time transiting or contemplating transition into a brand new field, that you're not alone!
We have seen and helped several students to break into the UX industry, despite coming from completely unrelated backgrounds like Accounting, Marketing and Chemistry (see more at
https://curiouscore.com/our-graduates-alumni).
Head over to our website to find out more about how we enable career switchers like yourself to break into the booming industry of UX even in this COVID period! Feel free to ask me any questions and we would be happy to arrange a free career consultation call with you
