I have 1 year of experience in product design (UI/UX) and getting approx 6.5 LPA. Completed my graduation last year in Journalism then switched to design. Is the salary ideal or can I expect better salary now?
Portfolio and quality of work above all >>>
Depends on your portfolio. A few mockups won't get you much attention.
You can try to get something higher. It’s not unusual to get 12-14 lpa as a junior in good startups
It’s alright for a junior designer. Lead designers are earning >30 lpa. You can be chamari that against yours.
Lead designers usually have 6 yoe.
U get only that much in city's, I'm at my 7 lac in Mangalore .2.5 years.
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 ...
Is this a good salary for a visual designer or am I underpaid, I want to check with fellow folks as Indian companies dont want to pay graphic/visuals designers much and think they can do it in canva
