Looking for a job as a Product Designer

Product Designer

I work as a project manager for an international company. They’re planning to put an office in Delhi in the next 2-3 months. Currently I work fully remote, they’re hinting at me going on-site in Delhi cause they want me to take up a leadership position. 

I am born and brought up in Mumbai, living in Bangalore for about 2 years. I absolutely love Bangalore and I’m not that keen on moving. 

Is there someone who’s moved to Delhi? How’s the experience been for you? What can I expect?

Moving to Delhi?

Business Development Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm currently in the growth marketing field and based in Delhi. I've recently received job offers from both Mumbai and Bangalore, and I'm trying to decide where to move. I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences about living in these cities. How is living cost and social life there?

Do suggest me on the same, will be moving in next month, need expertise on the same.

Looking to move to either of the two cities (Mumbai or Bangalore), Your thoughts would be very helpful?

I got a job opportunity from HDFC bank. The job expects me to shift to Mumbai from Bangalore WFH currently. The pay is 30LPA  is it worth considering it according to the cost of living in Mumbai ? Seriously heard it's very costly not been there. And currently I'm working in a Consulting firm is it the right move to consider. Will it be good for my career ?

By the way it's going to be my 3 switch in 5 years just looking to settle where there stability and no layoffs 

Please advise is it worth considering an Indian private bank

Visual Designer

Hello, I have 5yoe at big4, currently working from my hometown. However recently I received an offer for a product company (pre-sales) which needs me to relocate to Bangalore. 
The hike is good 45% but considering the CoL I might just be saving 10-15k more per month than I do now. 

So, my question is, is it worth joining the product firm and relocate?

Move to Bangalore for slight pay increase?

Consultant

I'm currently interviewing for 2 companies, 1st one is Deloitte and another one is a seed stage startup that has a potential to make it big ( I'm assuming). The founder is super nice and I'll be working with him and a product engineer.

What are the pros and cons of working in both the companies?

Ps- I'm having an experience of working as a ux designer in a design agency for 2 years

Working in an MNC vs working as a solo product designer at a seed stage startup?

How's the current job market like according to you guys? More specifically in Bangalore. I recently got an offer from an upcoming digital commerce player. They're giving a 35% pay hike and the role is decent. I don't love it , I don't hate it either. My only issue is it's based out of Delhi, a city I'm not a big fan of. To give more context I've been born and raised in Delhi but I've been living away from home for 8 years now. It's a city thats familiar but comes with its down baggage. I find the people too aggressive and don't have much of a circle left there. Got laid off from the Bangalore startup I was working at some 3 months back. I have a decent runway but frankly it's not making too much sense to keep paying rent in Bangalore anymore. I keep oscillating between taking this offer and letting it go. Thoughts?

Should I accept the offer?

Growth And Strategy

We are a digital marketing agency focused on helping startups (funded). We are currently remote with the team spread across the country.

I'm contemplating moving base to Bangalore - a lot of folks say that Bangalore is the place to be for my business. 

Need some real advice, would me being physically present in Bangalore help my business? 

Do startups prefer Bangalore based agencies vs other city/remote agencies?

Bangalore startup folks - need help!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. 
This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. 
Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. 
But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 
1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what
2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them
3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them 

Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even.

Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. 

This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me.

But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. 

All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. 

So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) 

Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

Done with Tier1 cities, moving to tier 2 town with family - A rant

So are you fed up with Bangalore or just the career rat race? 
  
 Both are different. 
  
 Also, costs can be low in Bangalore, spending 2L/mo in married life isn't a feature of the city, it's the feature of your circle. 
  
 Not all high earners have to be HENRYs

Let's face it, bangalore is expensive, in terms of value for money. 
There are so many infrastructure issues.  Travel issues etc

But at the same time, Bangalore is the major leagues for tech in India. 
Events, meetups, startups all are prevalent mostly in Bangalore.

Given all this, and having a choice on where you wanna stay, what would you choose?
1. Bangalore
2. Other city?
3. Lead Nomadic life, Travel around city to city,  state to state, country to country?

Given a choice that you can stay anywhere,  would you choose Bangalore?

Associate Manager

I am joining a new company which is remote first.

Does it makes sense to be in banglore?

Given that if i move to my home town, I will save 95% of my income.

I am confused because I also like banglore and dont like the idea of living with my parents.

But if i stay at home for 2 3 years, I would be able to buy a property in banglore when i move back in future.

Does it makes sense to be working from home in banglore

Confused about taking a job offer in Mumbai, currently being offered 14lakhs fixed + 2 variable + some deals bonus. Currently being offered 12.8 lakhs fixed in Bangalore. They are also not offering any relocation bonus. Financially it doesn't really make much sense, but I am thinking if it will offer me better opportunities in future. I am not from a Tier A college. I have received the offer after 3 months of active job search.

Received a job offer in Mumbai in Investment Banking

Investment Associate

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.
