Hi Grapevine,

I am currently applying to Enterprise / SaaS organisations in Bengaluru and getting confused when trying to benchmark my level against different companies as they all use different employee leveling scales.

This is getting to be an issue as the salary range is generally benchmarked to the level of the open position and I'm unable to reply confidently to the recruiters on my salary expectations.

My most recent position was as a Senior Lead UX Designer in an IT Services company.

I was leading teams of 3-5 UX and UI designers for end-to-end design engagements and my clients were large MNCs including a fortune 50 pharma giant. I was also involved in training and evaluating associate designers and expected to contribute to design proposals for potential clients.

Any advice or pointers on how you figured out your own experience and employee level accurately would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Confused Designer. What is my employee level?

Hello
I have been working as a developer for almost 3 years now. I have been pursuing design at side and want to transition to design as career (UX/product design roles).

Need help on navigating roles and salaries from anyone who has transitioned/seen someone transition and has knowledge on this.
1. Apply for entry level roles or senior roles?
2. How to navigate salary discussions ( if recruiter says since this is your first design job we can only pay entry level salary X which is less than my current salary as a dev)?

Salary expectation in Dev to Design transition

I have been working as a Visual Designer for a b2b saas agency. It's been 2 years now and I feel I have hit a plateau in my career. Can anyone help me in ways I can upskill or transition myself to more scalable job?
I have 4 years of total industry experience. Also please suggest a salary range I can expect

Transitioning from Visual Designer to UI/UX role

UX/UI Designer

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.
