Yo.

Is anyone's company looking for Product Designers? (With decent pay?) I'm looking for a change.

There are so many fake openings on LinkedIn. Naukri got NO Naukri. Other platforms are dead.

I got almost 2 years of experience. I did internships at great companies. Got a formal degree. Have been a pseudo PM as well. I can think of UX before the UI. 

Not really the average figma to framer AeStHeTiC-Minimalist designer.

Do DM me if you got openings and can get me hired

How to get freelance work as a product designer ?

Hi all, I am a mechanical engineering graduate with no experience. Looking to transition to product management. Completed Nptel certificate courses in product management. Please mentor /advise me about the mandatory requirements to get my first job in PM.

Mentor me

So I have been doing freelancing from quite some time and have worked on web apps and mobile applications which were completely under me, client just brought the rough ideas of the product they were looking for and so I worked from scratch on those, although I was on learning stage still managed to deliver big projects alone. So I wanted to know does this count as product designer? Or still it will be just UI/UX designer? 
Also I am planing to join a company as full time how much salary can I ask them? Like I have around 2 years of experience although all were freelance projects. I have experience in designing modern UI websites to multi featured mobile apps, web apps and logos. 
If I go for interview how much can I ask in salary?

Any product/ux design folks available here on grapevine that are willing to send out a referral? I’m looking to switch from 3d/2d motion and graphic design to product and ux roles and given the current market situation, it’s getting tough.
Any piece of advise or referral would help. Thanks!

Any product/ux designers here?

Hey folks,

After 7 years as a Graphic Designer, I've spent the last 3 years in the realm of Product Design. I'm currently working as a freelancer, helping an established startup build a mobile application from scratch.

What would you recommend as a fair monthly rate for someone with my background and expertise?

Currently, I know to work with Webflow, Figma, and Canva. Also, I know HTML, CSS, and JS and built some projects. Does that give me an edge over other candidates? Just curious to know🤔🤔

ML Data Associate

I work in the Product Analyst for a US based startup. I have not had anything to do for the last one week, while my team that comprises of Dev and Design folks have a lot of work. I feel very useless in the office. My company would be glad to have me contribute to design or development but I don’t have the skillsets for it. 
My question to the ones reading this here, is if I must acquire the design skills(Figma) or development skills(Frontend) and contribute to the product development efforts simultaneously expanding my skillset or acquire product management skills and build my profile well as the natural career progression of my job is in and towards Product management(especially considering that I am a fresher and I don’t have any prior product experience). I wish to stay in the Product field in foreseeable future.
Please help me out with this folks, TIA!

Feeling useless at my job

Product analyst

I myself am looking for product design roles. All I see on linkedin and other job portals is that companies only looking for Product Designer 2 candidates/mid-senior/lead designers.

Even if I see any PD1 role, they ask for minimum 1 year experience (internship experience no included). I don’t understand the rationale behind it.

Its getting tough now that I am looking for a job since 2 months and its tiring. 

Is there anyone who understands the current market trend and has an insight about when junior/entry level designers can expect jobs to reopen? Would love to get your speculations on the hiring scene of upcoming months.

Is the market opening anytime soon for entry-level product designers?

Hello
I have been working as a developer for almost 3 years now. I have been pursuing design at side and want to transition to design as career (UX/product design roles).

Need help on navigating roles and salaries from anyone who has transitioned/seen someone transition and has knowledge on this.
1. Apply for entry level roles or senior roles?
2. How to navigate salary discussions ( if recruiter says since this is your first design job we can only pay entry level salary X which is less than my current salary as a dev)?
