If you are working employee don’t charge less than 50% of your monthly salary. 
  
 Also depends upon the clients.

Product Designer

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?

For more context, I’m an Android dev with 4yrs exp. I have not done freelancing before. I’m approached by a company where they need a feature implementation in existing project. I estimated efforts to be around 4-5 days and complexity is medium. How do you calculate hourly rate based on that? 
Experienced freelancers please also let me know any other key things I should always do or keep in mind.

Seeking Advice on Pricing Strategies and Developer Compensation for New Software Company

Salesforce Developer

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.

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

Looking for a Product Designer role

I am a new founder in the D2C space. I just placed my first order from a Chinese supplier and am looking to list the product line on Amazon and my own website. 

I am in the process of building my website and brand guidelines as of now and finding it difficult with a designer friend. Know any freelance designers or design agencies that can help with this? I am bootstrapping it as of now so won't be able to afford a very premium agency. Also any tips on how much should this cost etc. would be helpful. 

Website will be initially built on Shopify.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I've handled copywriting, creative strategy, and execution for brands for the last 8+ years. Many of those in agencies, and the last few in a B2B SaaS tech company.

Because of my agency background, I know I'm pretty underpaid, but since that can change now, I wanna know what's the baseline for my profile considering my experience.

I kill it with creative requirements for branding, paid promotions and literally anything under the sun that the brand needs. Nothing long form, because that's a different ball game altogether.

I'm getting just under 20LPA right now.
I'm up for appraisals soon. I've been with this company for 2+ years.
Please tell me what's the salary bracket I should be in.

I'm great at what I do, just not this salary stuff 🤦🏾‍♂️. Please help a brother out!

Looking forward to your responses, or questions if y'all need any more clarifications to give an answer. Thank you all in advance 🙏🏽

Any and all help will be really appreciated 🙏🏽

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.

What's an avg salary for a senior product designer, at a good series A funded startup?

Hi fellow designers, I am a brand & graphic designer who worked at a smaller design studio for the last 5 years or so. I am now looking to join an in-house brand team in a big start-up/corporate. In my previous company, since it was a smaller design studio, I was getting paid less compared to what startups and corporates pay their designers.

Will my previous lower-than-market-rate-salary affect my ability to get a good CTC now? What is a good CTC expectation for a senior brand & graphic designer with 5-6 years of good work experience?

Ideal CTC for 5-6 years experience?

Senior Designer

I have an idea that I want to work on, it’s not unique but solves a real world problem. 

While I can sort out the end to end implementation from engineer side of things, currently struggling with “designers block” (not sure if that’s a thing, but you get my point).

I have very basic design, but i feel a good design can bring the app to life. Here are my thoughts- 


- Tried looking on dribble but mostly people leave one or two screenshots and that too without the figma/prototype. 

- where do you guys take inspiration from while working on any new idea?

- Considering I want to hire someone, what would be an approximate cost of an app of 8-10 screens. (apologies in advance, this might sound stupid but not sure how designer charge)

- Considering I want to learn/improve stuff, where do i start? have worked with figma and xd in past, can draft an average UI.

Design folks of grapevine, where do i find some good prototypes?

Staff Engineer

Hi, Would love to know if anyone is doing freelancing full time or part time. Like how you folks started? How do you find clients regularly? Do you have indian clients or from US or Europe? Love to know more about this as I want to get started in the freelancing world.

Freelancing Advice

I have 5YoE in the current company, and about 7 years overall. I bring specific domain knowledge to the team, as I have a PhD in Science. 
The regular increment is 10% even with performance exceeding expectations. 

I am considering branching off and starting my own business. Last year I made around 6 lakhs by freelancing. That too without any active marketing and advertising. 

What should be the best course of action?.

Consultant

I have a good portfolio and have worked with a few amazing clients in India. But recently I got to know that designers in my circles are making 2/3x of what I'm making. This is because they are working with US clientele. Does anyone here have an idea of how to get $100 per hour projects? I see scaling in upwork very time taking and a lot of effort. Any other way?
