The profession of a UX designer is often listed as one of the most in-demand jobs in the IT industry.
Nevertheless, I observe such a situation that in Russia it is valid only in Moscow time and St. Petersburg. In the regions, this is somehow not very noticeable. Basically, companies need a human orchestra who could both make a prototype and draw a beautiful icon.
The following questions arise: when will the need for ux-specialists reach the regions and will it reach at all?
and how, for example, is it worth developing in this direction in order to directly offer yourself to employers as a ux-designer in the future? I understand that there is no chance of getting from the street to such a position

Big companies need UX. No, it will not reach the regions. Once upon a time, bootstrap reached the regions and everyone is now happy, a student can make a nice site. Someday JQuetyUI will reach the regions and this good site will also have pleasant interface elements.
UI itself does not bring money, and UX seems to bring it, but it is long, expensive and its interpretation depends too much on a particular specialist.

PR. A less professional UX designer who wrote a book, speaks at conferences, publishes on Habré, has a leading Youtube channel, will be more in demand by the end user than a more professional one who just does his job well.

Yes, when something reaches our regions, it’s deaf here. It seems to me that it-specialists living in the regions, one way or another, work for large cities. For example, I know that there are Moscow companies that recruit specialists in the regions in order to pay them less. Many people just freelance. Most are moving. In the regions for the next decades, only the ability to distort Arial on street banners and use Monotype Corsiva from time to time will be in demand, where can it be up to UX.
