Isnt that obvious?
Also, getting into Product company from Service will be a task in itself.
It is and I have been actively looking for a better job. Well if you can help me out that would be really great. A refferal could work.
The only way to switch to a product company is to put your work out on Linkedin and also upskill like crazy. If projects aren’t good make really really good concept work that can be a talking point to get your foot in the door. All the best 🙌🏼
I have but due NDA I am not able to post it on social media platforms. Also if theres any openings at swiggy do you mind reviewing my resume or referring?
NDA doesn’t matter in India. No one is suing anyone. This is coming from me who has worked on all kinds of projects like this in Indian/International companies. Make a portfolio of your projects but don’t upload on public portal. Make them into a PDF and share a Gdrive link
- Ask your manager about the total project value
- Count the number of hours you are working on a project.
- Ask for the hourly rate charged by the agency for design work and the deduct 30-40% from it(agency's cut) and the amount will your hourly rate. But if they are charging x amount and two designers are working on it for the same rate and divide the rate by 2 and then do th maths.
- Calculate the number of projects you have done in quarter. Calculate the total value of projects you have worked on. Calculate the total number of hours you have spent. And find the amount you should receive. And then divide it for each month.
Basically this is to calculate your contribution in the revenue for the projects you are working on. And then see if you are being paid, significantly less than you are bringing in, then tell this t.your manager. Talk in the language of managers, percentages and maths, it's usually effective.
Also, agencies in general pay less than product companies. This is due to business reasons. The basic maths is, if you are earning 50k per month, you should bring revenue of minimum of 1L per month and 1.5 L ideally. If you bring 1L , then it's break even for the agency, if 1.5L-2L, it's profitable, then you can ask for bonuses and salary hike.
Same, exactly going through this only. I have been applying for months even
