Our 2024 State of User Research report uncovered considerable anxiety among UX Research specialists about the current state of the job market. Anecdotally, we’ve also heard that hiring timelines for UX specialists seem long right now, with companies seemingly more “picky” about candidates.
But companies are hiring and, assuming all of those open listings on LinkedIn get filled, tens of thousands of UX hires will be negotiating their salaries in 2024. Countless more UX Designers, User Researchers, ReOps Specialists, and other user experience professionals will also be discussing compensation as part of performance review cycles or ad hoc salary reviews.
