Entry Level Product Design Role Salaries

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.

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

Hi, i have been working outside India for the last 5 years, so am not sure of what to enter as expected salary for senior leadership roles in design. Any insights would be great!

Now it's becoming a rare opportunity in comparison to the developer's starting salary. Developer getting 2x amount and sometimes 3x the amount what designers are getting. So people who are coming to design industry from developer side of things, think again

Role - Product Designer YOE - 2 Current CTC - 9LPA Offer in hand - 18-22LPA + Esops But I'm happy and sorted in my current company, work life balance is amazing. I'm not sure how the work culture will be in new company and if it goes this smoothly. What should I do? Help me out. TIA

I didn't see any hiring thread specifically for product designers. Most are catered towards engineering and PM roles. If your company has any openings or if you come across any good openings please mention here. Will be valuable for everyone I'm also looking out. I have 4.5 YOE currently working at a product company (not Capgemini) Cheers!

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.

Looking to hear from people about what's a good salary for a Sr. Product Designer with 3 years of experience, working in a series A funded startup should be. Break downs in terms of cash + bonus + ESOPs is appreciated.
