Advice!!

I'm a recent Human-Centred Design grad aiming for Product Design. Desperate for an offer, I applied broadly and landed a role as a startup's first Visual Communication Designer (4.2 LPA). It includes some UI/UX, but the title and focus are visual. Should I accept this for the experience, or redo my portfolio to target dedicated Product/UX roles? Is being the first hire in a 'Visual' role a good start for a UX career? Or should I strengthen my portfolio and try to get better offers?

What are your thoughts on 100% remote opportunities for CD?

Do you believe it's possible for those companies to hire remote talent worldwide? If not, why?

Hi Fishes,
I had 4-5 rounds of interview in Amazon in last 1.5 months, including bar raiser. I got a mail stating I am selected for position within 4 hours of my bar raiser round.
HR asked for a few documents like last 3 months payslips, ECTC etc. It's been 4 working days and that HR is not replying on my mail. It is fine or something is off track ? Any suggestions ?
Does they usually turn back after sending selection mail and asking for documents

Thanks in advance !
