If you are serious about moving into UX/UI you will be asked for a portfolio everytime you apply. You'll need to complete some projects on your own to show your skills. Are there any UX/UI meetups in your area? You can also find groups on FB, LI and Discord. Connecting to those in field and asking for some informational interviews can help guide you on the type of projects and how to showcase. There are online tutorials and classes that can help you as you build out those projects for your portfolio. Unless there is a major change in the industry, if you are looking to move into the field than you will need abide by the norms of the industry and build that portfolio. Hiring in the field is really tough right now so you will run into completion and those you are competing with will have the projects to showcase. I know it may seem daunting to out together but until you have done those projects, how will you know you really enjoy the work and want to dedicate a portion of your career to it? The beauty of working on portfolio projects is you get absolute freedom to focus on the type of work that moves you with no client demands to contend with.
