Hi folks , who switched to UX/Product Design

How did you navigate the change ,
Would appreciate any advice I can get

switching to UX/Product Design

Finance Operations

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio.

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

In early startups specially in b2b, product designers are not designers they're rather design support. Always restricted to reach till minimum viable ux.

Though whatever gets shipped at the end is better from past but power of shaping product is largely placed at PM's table and engeneering table (feasibility). 
Now you can avoid complaing and show high agency, partner with PM in defining Product but the default power house is still PM, not the designer. Also you don't have time for this because designs need to shipped to add to next sprint.

At the end you just take a deep breath and sigh because you made something better, bit better if not far from what existed before.

I guess high impact/ product definition work gets done by designer in big orgs only not only early age startups.

Product designer rant

UX/UI designer

I have 1.7 years experience.  worked in 2 startups as solo product deisgners. legal tech and ed tech.Did everything  from research,  ui ,moodbboard,illustration, motion,...

since I never had seniors just curious to know...

what do senior product designers do daily basis? how much of it is ui and ux?

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?

UI/UX Designer vs product designer

Since every doodhwala, chaiwala, momoswala, sabjiwala, raddiwala is a ux designer these days

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs

All the B-school grads have a question...is getting into IIM to get into the PM role justified?

Product Manager

I want to move out of architecture - the work is stressful, long hours, not enough pay and the only ways to earn more and get growth is to go into construction and real estate which I'm not fond of. Is moving into design field in other sectors good? in terms of work life, pay and job market?

is ux design or product design worth moving into?

So there are bunch of hirings in every org of which you have no effin idea what they do and why do they exist! Let’s start - UI/UX researcher

Thread about no clue 🕵️‍♀️

Software Engineer

Hey everyone, I wanted to know exactly what a product designer actually does. What is there day to day activities, what are the qualification needed to be a product designer. I saw most of the product designers are getting really good pay in startup and I am curious to know what's their daily job looks like.

What does a Product Designer actually do?

Team lead

Context- I’m 30 YO. Have 4.5 years of overall experience and 3.5 years in User Experience Design. Ive got a background in physical product design & I landed in UX due to non availability of 3D projects in TCS.

My leaning in UX since 3.5 years has been hands-on.
I’ve worked for a client for almost 3.5 years as a user experience designer. I used to work in silo 95% of the time and hence didn’t know the right YX methodology to use during the UX research process, didn’t know the rights questions that I need to ask to both the stakeholders and users as I didn’t educate myself through any online courses regarding the same. Before I graduated, I was told be a few friends that ‘UX is doable and it’s very easy up learn. If you can pursue physical product design, you can easily do UX.

Fast forward 4 years, I’m compiling all the work I’ve done for the client and I’ve realised a lot of loopholes and lack of depth both in the design process and in the designs. Neither I asked the right questions during the User interview nor my design fully solves the user’s problems completely. I have to add these 2 projects I d worked for the client as I need to showcase real world projects in my portfolio.

I want to switch not just due to bad pay. I want to switch for better exposure, for growth and to learn to work in a team.

I can’t go to the client and gain more clarity on the needs and requirements of the project as I no longer work with them.

I will re-educate myself regarding the user research methodologies, best UX practices , UI design principles etc.

But how do I showcase these projects which are flawed and has a lot of loopholes?

Late realisation regarding projects I’ve worked on for the client . I feel I’m screwed . How do I get out of this situation ?

Product Designer

Field is saturated and you will seriously struggle to find work. Not gate keeping, just laying out the reality. If you're up for the challenge then good, if not then you should look at some other fields.

Product design is kind of weird now and is tougher than you think. It is no more a creative field where you can come up with unique ideas or have fun creating stuff. It is intoxicating, tedious and requires constant fighting with the stakeholders, listening to your micro managers and implementing stuff they "ordered" you to do disguised as feedback. Did I say, it is mostly copy work nowadays and portraying it as a whole new feature/design that is unique to your org/team?

It’s 1% creativity, 99% stroking the ego of your managers and bosses just so you don't get laid off.

(Not at capgemini, burner account)

To all the new Product Designers/UX Designers thinking this field is easy to get into. This is the reality of our field

Hey guys, I'm working as a UX designer in an Design agency. So over there i used to work from research till wireframes for each projects, like i don't have hands on experience doing the UI part. Is it okay if i  just learn how to design stuffs using existing design systems?
And also could anyone suggest me some good companies which have good design culture in hyderabad or remote!

Thanks in advance 😄
