Beginner friendly: Moderate

I’d rate it a 2 because becoming a user researcher typically requires specific skills in research methodologies, data analysis, and user experience design. Most people without a background in these areas would find it challenging to start earning money quickly. While there are resources available online, such as courses and tutorials, gaining the necessary expertise and building a portfolio can take significant time and effort. Additionally, competition in the field can be high, making it harder for beginners to secure paid opportunities without prior experience or credentials.
