And I’m willing to bet that it’s an unpaid internship too. Employment is at its peak because of such companies.
P.S. is there no distance left between ux designers and visual designer anymore? Why do designers entertain such bad practices?

So it’s acceptable to want interns with two years of work experience?

UX/UI Designer

So it’s acceptable to want interns with two years of work experience?- Grapevine

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.

How much Salary to expect? [INDIA] 🇮🇳

Product 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?

Hey I'm working as a full-time graphic designer for the last 2 years and now I want to explore Product design. So I want to know how much should I expect from the recruiters to offer me  as a fresher with good knowledge of figma.

What will be the expected salary for a fresher UI designer who's already working as a graphic designer for the last 2 years?

Graphic Designer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

How can a graphic designer with 2.5 years of experience get ux job at a we'll paying startup?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

What do they do exactly? Many of them are earning well. I'm referring to those who work in big MNCs or large startups. 

I can see many companies with little to no ui changes over the years. And there are some companies which don't require a ui designer to work everyday as their products are deployed and there are less changes over the years. This made me question what the hell they are doing. Some even start with 50+lpa with no experience, in tech companies. 

I would also like to mention that some of these companies which hire designers for big bucks don't even have a good ui. Are companies giving away money for them to do nothing? 

These are based on some people I know who work in this industry.

UI UX Designers

Investor

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

Quitting Freelnace as a designer and aiming for FAANG Companies, Would love advice

Looking at the sad state of UX market in India makes me think about the scene few years back. In 2018-19 many folks who found coding or other roles a little difficult switched to UX. 

UX design was glorified even more by few design influenzaaas as if its the only coolest job left in IT.

Most of the experienced designers we see today are earning good but shit in their pants when asked to do good visuals. They are good at talking, use lot of UX jargons and give gyaan on Linkedin comments and constantly ridicule designers who are good at visuals to sound intellectual.

We don’t see talented illustrators, motion designers, vfx folks get the appreciation they deserve. Also these skills are difficult and takes hell lot of practice to master and has a high entry barrier as well.

Market ruined because of low entry barrier in UX Design? 🤔

Business Analyst

Hey all, my cousin just completed his design degree. How do I get him onboard the corporate train? Getting a job for product design (in tech or the industrial side) is bit difficult for a fresher in 2023. Any advice?

How many have learnt design and feel like the worst decision/ time investment ever made

Bcs design jobs are so less compared to SDE

#my experience #my thoughts
Tell me what you guys think 🤔

Less job post for designers

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

Salaries for Ux/Ui/VisualDesign interns

It seems unfair to me and others like me who are trying to get into the industry. People who are in the industry very well know that they didn't get an entry because they did some Jony Ive-level work. The majority of them simply got lucky in 2021. Now everyone wants superheroes in the name of product design. I wish I was doing the same job search in 2021, things would have been different.

Designers Rant

Product Manager

I am working at a design agency from 2 years with a CTC between 4 to 6 LPA which way to less considering my experience and the work I am doing handling multiple clients, delivering Designs in tight deadlines and yet getting paid way to less. But considering current situation the market is so saturated that I don't hear from companies that I have applied for.

So it’s acceptable to want interns with two years of work experience?
