Alumni tip: I was able to get great offers by only attending workshops, but for many of you booking 1-1 resources for interviews could be very valuable”
Taylor - UXD Amazon/Riot Games
Alumni tip: I used to never hear back with my old resume. However with workshops & specialized 1:1 classes with my coach in the gaming field, I landed my dream gaming role, even though I did not have any past UX work experience.
Vanessa - UXD Epic Games
While in the mean time, attend all member live courses or watch all past loom recordings to build up industry technical skills, such as whiteboarding, Figma skills, and behavioral questions. There is always something new to learn here every week.
Coach tip “If you lack work experience, consider applying to the ten-week industry accelerated course (for students with 1-2 years of UX experience) These work on real client projects with teams of real FAANG coaches, pm's developers, check out the workshop above. ”
Laura - UXR coach/Meta
Coach tip “Everyone's path into UX is unique, check out my journey above from a business student to interning at tesla and designing at Amazon, do not let your education define you. If you want a referral, let us get to know you!”
Laura - UXD coach/Amazon/Tesla
Coach tip “Once you get your interview, this is where UXGO can really excel, our coach team often have great ways to make sure you feel exactly prepared before that critical moment. ”
Suruchi - UXD coach/Amazon/Walmart
The biggest mistake most students make is waiting too long to reach out. If this is your first interview to maximize your chances and secure an offer at a big tech company usually requires a week of high-intensity focused 1:1 coaching + a full mock. From our experience, most students usually require a series of four 1:1 interview classes.
However, depending on your interview ability and communication skills, this may take more.
If English is not your first language we recommend you reach out even earlier to prepare your behavioral questions.
See example 1:1 classes here with Suruchi.
Oftentimes, the unfortunate reality is some members join UXGO after a failed interview. The key thing here is to be self-critical and improve yourself. Be open to feedback.
Can't seem to pass the final round? Did you do bad in a screening? Tell us more and your coach will give you tailored support & feedback.Keep your head up, and work hard we'll help you get your offer in no time.
See example 1:1 classes with Namita or other members who had many failed interviews before they landed offers at Google, Telsa, Amazon, and many others.
Alumni comment: "I failed 6 interviews in 2023 before I got my intern offer at TESLA, I simply just did not know what I was doing wrong before UXGO"
Namita - UXGO alumni/Google

We are very familiar with each company's unique culture and hiring standards, it is important you work with the right coach for the right company & prepare accordingly.
In 2023, we have helped over 160+ members gotten offers at over 200+ intern & new grad roles (US, CAN, UK, Singapore, AUS)
As the design lead at Meta, we often evaluate candidates using specific rubrics and guides. Make sure you prepare for the company you are interviewing for, each company is different.
Jyotti - UXD Guest Coach @ Meta
Check out members with the Alumni tag, these are not coaches but are members who have landed offers after UXGO classes and are happy to support you.
We are hoping you will do the same once you secure your offer~ Remember the key thing is to trust the process and to not get frustrated, our coach team is here to support you, always.
Somethings we look at are:
"Do you have at least 2 years of FAANG or equivalent UX experience?
Have you have had at least 5 successful interview offers?
Are you in touch with the recent job market and application process?
What drives you to mentor students?"
To ensure coaching standards, not every application will be accepted. However, we review each application at a case by case basis. If we see your passion but do not feel confident in your experience yet, we ask you to remain a mentor to UXGO students, and apply to become a coach again at a later time.
Being a guest coach allows you to host workshops, industry talks, and connect with UXGO students.
You will unlock exclusive UXGO coaching privileges, such as networking and advanced career support. For each of your taught sessions, you will also receive a payout (Payout is based on student interest and attendance)
UXGO insists on the highest coaching standards. Meaning as a guest coach, you are not allowed to coach students 1:1 without assistance just yet.
Being a guest coach was great. I didn't have the time commitment to help students 1:1 but I wanted to share with them my experience and advice for finding an UX internship at Meta. In the future I would like to move on and become a core coach.
Jyotti, UXD Guest Coach @ Meta
Dont worry, we know coaching 1:1 is a lot of responsibility, so we're here to help! As a core coach you will be supported by your lead coach the entire way.
You will receive standardized coaching material from lectures, recordings, interview banks, past student samples, etc.
Being a core coach requires a significant time commitment to truly offer customized support for your student. We estimate 5 - 10 hours per week.
That is why we ask every core coach to not exceed 5 students at once. We value your time and commitment to helping students.
As a core coach you will directly receive a pay out based on whatever package your student purchased. We only keep a small % of management fee to cover the cost of all the resources and support we share with you.(Meaning the longer you coach with us, the less % we'll need to charge)
“If a student is willing to sign up for a 3 month pre-job hunting course package with you, we'll make sure you get all the support you need to help the student succeed. We will also give you the payout in full after deducting the small % management fee.”
Hannah, UXD Lead Coach
“As a Core coach, teach with your own flexible schedule. All we ask is you stay responsible and responsive to any student you agreed to coach.”
Jason, UXR Lead Coach
Lead coaches are for only the most experienced of UXGO coaches. As a lead coach you must focus on at least one of the few areas:
