How to transition from FE developer to UX designer?

[kosmodrom]

Hello friends :)

I have got 4 years of experience as a Front End developer. Currently working mostly with React and Typescript.

I have a strong need to create and be part of decision making process and not only a person who is developing products designed by others. I also need to cooperate more with other people and not spending whole day a front of computer.

So my idea is to transition to UX designer, but I don't want to start from scratch starting from junior position.

Any tips how to accomplish that? Or maybe there is other way to fulfill my needs?

you want to be UX Engineer, which is a step up from a UX designer.
