Product Designer

Join the internship. Keep the job hunt active. Keep the "open to work tag" ON on LinkedIn before joining the internship to avoid suspicion from HR.

UX/UI designer

Sit for college placements and also apply to other companies.

I'm in the final year of ux design college and companies in the range of 25k internship then 56 lpa job are available. Is it a good idea to opt in or should I search for companies on my own?

Haiyaa! 

As a final-year Computer Science Engineering (CSE) graduate with a deep-seated passion for UX design, I find myself at a crossroads. Despite my academic background, I've always been towards drawn the creative and problem-solving aspects of UX design. This led me to self-learn and gain practical experience in the field, amounting to a solid 1.03 years of hands-on UX design work.

However, the journey to secure a full-time UX design role has been challenging. The reality is that most Indian colleges do not offer design placements, making it difficult for aspiring designers like myself to find opportunities within the campus. The off-campus job market, on the other hand, is highly competitive, making it tough to secure a UX job with a satisfactory CTC.

I've tried reaching out to HR professionals from top startups like Cred, Nearbuy, and others via LinkedIn and email, but the response has been lukewarm. Even when my portfolio and resume were well-received, as was the case with a representative from Accenture, the lack of openings for interns and the unavailability of full-time positions or Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs) have been roadblocks.

Despite these challenges, I remain undeterred. I believe in the power of persistence and the value of the skills I've acquired. I'm confident that the right opportunity is just around the corner, and I'm eager to contribute my UX design skills to a team that values creativity and innovation.

If you know of any opportunities or have any advice for navigating this journey, I'd be grateful to hear from you all.

Breaking Barrier : The journey of a CSE grad to UX Designer

I am currently working as an Industrial Designer at a Startup ( 14 LPA ). I have a Master’s Degree in Design from Indian Institute of Science. I am not finding jobs and am very confused about wether to continue as an Industrial Designer since I see very less demand as of now. On the other hand UX design is very lucrative in terms of perks and package. Your thoughts would be really helpful.

Should I switch to UI/UX

Lead Designer

Hey everyone, I've been on the hunt for a product design internship for the past 1 month. I came across a lot of internships, but they were willing to take me only at zero cost.

What would you do in this scenario? What other ways can I explore to find an internship ( I'm a junior doing my UG).

THANKS :)

Senior designers, do you think I should do an unpaid internship?

I am a Product Designer at an Edtech Startup (raising 20m Series B soon) with almost a year (1) of full time experience but overall almost 3 (including internships) at some great companies.

As I am looking for a change what salary should I expect? Considering:-

- I have a design degree from a Non-IIT/Non-NID Tier 1 University (known for good engineers) [so good foundation hopefully]
- The companies I have interned at range from Japanese MNC/Conglomerate, Indian Fashion focused E-Commerce Giant, Indian Food Tech/Delivery Giant & an Indian Digital Transformation Giant.
- The average stipend I earned at these companies was around 40K/month.
- The salary I earn right now every month is between 70 - 90K
- I believe I have Got good Product focused UX knowledge. [Part of the Product team not a seperate Design Team]
- Not another Figma/Framer drooling Designer.
- Many of my peers from my alma mater are placed in Big Tech or Desi Giants owned by Foreign Giants

So what salary should I be expecting? (Keeping aside the ESOP/RSU part)
Is ~ 1.25L/month in hand is right ask?

Please suggest.

Hi! I am a 2024 graduate with a B.Des. degree in Product Design. I am currently looking for opportunities in the field of UX-UI or Product.

I got placed at Accenture through campus placements with a promise of 8.424 lpa CTC. However, I haven’t yet received the offer letter.

I am open to opportunities in Bangalore, Delhi or Gurugram. And maybe Mumbai if the salary is sufficient to survive in the city. 😅

I'm a final year Interaction Design student. With 2-3 years of experience and currently freelancing. I aspire to enter Fang companies with less than a year left for me to grab a decent 6 month internship for the final semester and work there, I currently am freelancing as a UI and Graphic Designer at a startup and I honestly hate it, since I see no growth in terms of work there, and I really want to get into a larger company to get the exposure for growing in my field since it's been stagnant I feel. I would love any kind of advice on the situation and how to go about it to have a better shot at it

So I am a UX designer.

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?

Planning to hire a few campus interns next summer. What’s the current range of salaries for these internships?
