SALARY SIGNAL
£65k+
UK UX salaries vary significantly by seniority, location, sector and whether the role is specialist or multidisciplinary. The strongest salary comparison for an adjacent move is based on the scope of research, product decision-making, strategic responsibility and leadership rather than title alone.
MARKET INTELLIGENCE
Search by capability, not just title.
UX increasingly overlaps with product, research and service design because all four disciplines work with user needs, evidence and complex problems. The strongest adjacent move depends on which part of UX you already gravitate towards: interface and product delivery, research, end-to-end services, product decisions or strategy.
