Succeed in the industry
Hello, I really suck at design.
Junior designers should change this!
The design industry hiring processes have become a sad joke.
Companies now ask for juniors with five years of commercial experience. Rampant overhiring by big businesses led to thousands of mid and seniors getting fired. Definition of design gets distorted with mostly unfounded AI hype.
It’s crazy!
Saying it’s a competitive field doesn’t do it justice.
It’s a battle
Companies want the best possible talent for lowest possible pay. They expect juniors with experience which is an oxymoron. You’re either a junior, or you’re experienced.
We may start crying, screeching angrily and pointing fingers to blame, but when you stop and think about it you realise that it’s completely logical.
Obviously companies want both the best and the inexpensive rolled into one person.
