Hello fellow designers,
I am a self taught desinger who's working in a service based comp. My roles have included production support,automation using scripting,release support.
YoE : 2.8

What's the best way to go about in such a scenario. To try changing the role within the org or start looking out?
And if looking elsewhere,should I start as a beginner?
Google and IDF certifications in hand. Also have a portfolio

Search looking outside of current doesn't support in role switch. Most companies won't.
Also prepare yourself to get started from scratch which might also mean a paycut if you are earning above the freshers bracket

Yup, what you said is turning out to be true. The usual reasons being given of not able to change within the org.
Thanks for the insight. Also if I may, what would be the ideal salary bracket to ask for in such a situation.

Ask to match at least your current salary if it it not too high. If you are good with negotiation or have a very strong portfolio you might even get more.

Yup, definitely trying to keep the current ctc.

I switched from engineering after 5 years and i had to transition with a paycut of 40%.
So it depends on you, how much you want to trade off depending on what benefits you are getting back.

Thanks for that. May I ask, how the transition was in terms of the time taken to complete the switch ? And was it worth it in the end?
