Thank you @HAWK
Well, if you have 5 min, this video can bring you Turkey for a moment.
UX not very broad in Turkey, especially in İzmir. Job titles are mostly UI/UX.
But big companies are becoming aware of importance of UX.

Hi everyone, I’m Sergey, UX-researcher at a small software company.

Getting my master degree in comparative sociology.
Work as usability-analyst, also do trainings and seminars about UX-research methodology and practice for our clients.
What are you current challenges?
I am trying to get better at design and giving speeches.
Planing to bring more sociological methodology into UX-research.
Hardest challenge now is to finally complete my master thesis (got less than a week to submit final text).
Actually, will write direct message for everyone here trying to interview, because i need more empirical data.

I’m passionate about data visualisation and longitude studes.
The most great thing in our field is when you see the results of your recomendations in a product.

This is interesting!
So is this.
Brazil, and in half a decade I plan to live in New Zealand, Canada or somewhere in Europe.
I’m starting to read everything about UX, currently I’m a Business Intelligence Developer, but due to affinities I’m trying to land a job on the UI+UX+front end development area. At the moment I’m studying web development and doing sketches on Adobe XD (waiting for Invision Studio to launch on Windows since I don’t own a Mac 
).
Get a new job related to UI / UX, improve my UI/UX skills and master HTML+CSS+Javascript.
Construction of useful interfaces, minimalist but functional design, being able to be different even if dealing with the same data and improve already functional systems.
I’m literally a CatDog person.
I live in NZ 
Welcome!
Life in NZ seems amazing 
It will take some years on my part to visit, in the meantime I have to improve my skills and learn from communities and courses

Hi Hawk!
I found out about UX after a friend of mine took a bootcamp for Web Design and I was browsing through the other classes that the bootcamp had. When I read the description of the UX Design class, I knew that I had to see what it was about. So I took a part-time bootcamp class and love every aspect of it, so now I’m slowly trying to transition to UX.
