I’ve been working as a UI/UX designer for about a year now, but the place I’m at doesn’t follow any proper practices (in all departments). There’s no real research, no proper process, no usability testing. It's barely a tech company, more like some old government office. We mostly just design UI that ended up not even being developed by the developers.

This is terrible for someone's career, and now that I'm planning to leave this place. I don't have the skills required for a real UI/UX position.

What can I do in this position, and how do I learn fast so that I can get away from this mess?

Thank You!

Why is it terrible for your career?

IMO you are learning, GETTING PAID and in fact learning UI/UX.

You also have an option to create a project on your own and put it out in the world!
