Happy Friday,

Please can I get any tips on how to land Entry Level UX / Product design opportunity. I am not getting any interview calls. I am really tensed as I have to maintain my visa status. In USA I have co-op/internship experience as a Front end developer where I did design work also and 3 time graduate teaching assistant. In India I have <1 year of free lancing experience. I am attaching my portfolio link for your reference.

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not. B-Tech colleges put ads with Package and Campusing only. Almost 99% Indian YouTube thumbnail is like "5 lakh to 40 lakh", "Interview Experience in bracket 50Lpa" etc.. Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.

How to make a leap from UI/UX into product design? What skills should a PD have? With 5 YOE and I still feel like a junior. I have a good eye for visual design, but I'm a bit scared of the business strategy, analytics and testing part. Where do I start to learn those skills?

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately, the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.

I am also in the advanced stages of some lead designer positions in other companies.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?
