I appreciate you for making all the informative content. Through some of the insight I've gained from your videos (especially the portfolio efficiency ones) I've been able to land multiple interviews, design challenges, and a few offers for UX intern roles for next summer. Thank you Sharon!
That’s amazing!!! I’m SO stoked for you. Keep in touch and keep me posted!!
@@sharonyeunkim Just signed an internship offer!
I have been watching your content for quite sometime now & lemme just say, apart from being super informative & insightful, it's SUPER entertaining! love watching you on my breaks
Thank you so much!! Appreciate you :)
This is probably the first tech related "Day in the Life" that I've watched in which the person isn't just eating and chilling ALL DAY.
Great work, keep it up :)
LOL and thank you!!
So happy to see you uploading again, hope you've been well (: Can't wait to see what's to come after your internship!! My internship period at a startup is ending soon too 🤞🏼- Michelle
Michelle honey!! Long time no talk. Message me on IG let’s catch up! ❤️ or send me ur username lol and I’ll reach out
@@sharonyeunkim haha I still don't have an IG account, but I'll message you on LinkedIn 😊
Cool, but nothing was mentioned about what tasks you actually do at work
Writing out logistics in design flows, going through past research, creating mock-ups which I list in the calendar modules
Lol day in the life’s are not informative anymore just for people to show off like this video gave me no information regarding amazons internship seems like a UX designer more then anybody would know what information is wanted by the target user group 😂

Thanks for sharing,Sharon. It's really nice video. love it 😍
Thank you so much ❤️🫶
thank you sharon for sharing!
Appreciate you!!
Did you get an return offer? Can you speak more about how to prep for interview? Especially BQ for Amazon…Also, any suggestions for how to further grow yourself after landed the first position? Thanks!!
Hi! I decided not to return to this company as I’d like to explore other work areas this early in my career. Also I’d recommend looking up their leadership principles which you can google
I'm a current college sophomore studying CS and Graphic Design. I plan on enrolling into Springboards UX bootcamp as UI/UX is a career path I actually seem to enjoy and see myself fitting in. It's awesome to see you succeed, and it really gives me a confidence boost towards their program! Just a quick question, would it be best to take the bootcamp the last year of college so I can jump into internships without conflicting college assignments or is it possible to simultaneously take the bootcamp as well as college coursework? I also work and take on other responsibilities, and I have a great amount of motivation, however would the program be a bit too much midway through college? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
Hi Ian :) At least for me I decided to take a gap year and dedicate my focus on creating a good UX portfolio. I have a friend at NYU who took the Springboard bootcamp simultaneously with her degree/college coursework. And I think if you put your mind to it, it definitely can be possible to do both- although prioritize the portfolio as that's what you're aiming for. I didn't think I'd be able to get into FAANG in 2 years, but like you I was super motivated. Mind over matter! :)
@@sharonyeunkim Thank you for the reply I appreciate it!
@@inquiririddles my pleasure!
Your good at youtube! Keep it up. 🙌🏻
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! I used your code and get 1000 off for springboard🎉normally can only get 750 off I think. Working on UX path now and wish me good luck! 🎉🎉🎉
Best of luck Wenyan!!! You got this!
Cute... Let me ask you though, how sustainable you think that approach to work really is?
I love this video!
All love for u :)
target audience reached. literally my dream internship.
YESS SHARON
❤️❤️
So So So random but what was that you made for breakfast with the fruit pieces?? It looked so good LOL!
Hey! It was Protein Oatmeal that I microwaved with oat milk. Then when it’s hot I mixed in frozen mango and strawberries LOL
thanks for the vid
Such a wholesome video! Idk if you've mentioned this already, but what company are you interning for?
Amazon
you look super smart
Loved it
Thanks!
Ayyyy❤❤

How does salary compare to SWE?
Great video! On average, how many meetings do you have per day/week?
At least one-two a day. Probably 6-8 a week total that includes check-ins from managers, team meetings additional meetings with our higher-up manager, design critiques that can be an hour, additional meetings to meet other designers, product managers, etc to learn more about what other ppl cross company are up to/what can you learn from :)
If it's a check-in usually lasts 30 min. If it's a design critique with my team it'll be about an hour bi-weekly (once every two weeks).
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hello what programs do you normally work on (I personally work on figma or Adobe xd ) ?and do you code or have any experience with coding?
Figma for sure. All the big tech companies use Figma rather than sketch. I do know how to code a little bit (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) but I don’t code at all at work. I’d still recommend knowing at least the structure of it or how it works bc it for sure helps you work with developers later on
Hi Sharon! If you don’t mind me asking, how did you pay for the Springboard bootcamp? I am a college student so it would be very hard for me to do so.
Hey! Yeah def I was in the same boat being in college. I used their Climb credit loan program and took out a loan for the tuition~ Idk if they still use the same vendor but I believe they have possible payment options listed on their website!
@@sharonyeunkim Thank you for your response! Were you able to pay it off pretty quickly due to their job guarantee?
Hey Moffet Field! I live and work close by at Visa in Palo Alto. Are you from the Bay Area originally?
Nice! And no, originally based in NYC :)
Why is Amazon's main website UI still dogshet?
Hello Sharon, can Indian people also work as UX designer in a company like Amazon and do you get paid in internship?
If an Indian comes to Austria and gets a job as a ux designer
If he does so then what can be his one month's living cost?
can u tell me your story or how to be a ux desighner?
Hi Sharon, I just stumbled across your channel and I really like your content. Thanks so much for sharing 😊
I know that a lot of bootcamps teach the design thinking process, but I was just wondering whether or not you actually practice design thinking in the workplace? A lot of places I've been to talk about design thinking but it's actually never practiced. UX designers are more like UI designers (or maybe I'm unlucky) 🤷♀
Hey! Yes I absolutely did- it’s baked into the nature of what you have to do although the degree you have to be innovative/creative about it (depends on the project) will vary company to company
What is the salary of Amazon ux designer please ma'am reply me
CADE O MOUSE ?!! KAKAKAKA uma UX que não usa mouse ou caneta... já ta errado
Which software use to you make ux design ?
Figma!!!
Without bachelor degree in design can I apply in this company??
Yes you can. For example I have a friend who had a bachelors in psychology but got into Google for UX design
@@sharonyeunkim hey sharon can u plz tell me the process of getting into UX design jobs with no experience? Also Does Google hire experienced ones only?
it might sound innappropriate and racist but i'm not trying to be racist at all heads up I apologize in advance if it's offensive but she looks exactly like mulan
LMAO this comment is too good I posted it on my Instagram story 😂😂😂
@@sharonyeunkim no freaking wayyy!!!
This is very inspirational. I also plan to work in FAANG companies after I accomplish my bootcamp. Let's connect!
Yay! Hope you finish strong. You got this!
