From Web App Developer to UI/UX Designer

What are the chances of getting hired from being a fullstack web app developer to becoming a UI/UX Designer? Sa tingin nyo ba, this move is considered a downgrade? Kasi, I would like to focus more on my niche which is frontend. So I am choosing between front-end developer and UI UX designer. I want the UI UX designer a try, However; UI UX Designer post this days requires task/skills like user research, user story, persona, information architecture which is hindi ko alam kung paano ginagawa. I only know how to make user flows and create prototypes, but I'm willing to learn tho.
