Join jagadeesh in "Design for Change" as we tackle the dilemma many budding designers face: should you start your career with a design internship or go for a full-time job? We break it down into three steps:

  1. Clarify Your Design Values ✨: Understand your motivations and values as a designer. What drives you? Is it creating exceptional products, making an impact, or artistic expression?

  2. Assess Your Confidence Level 🚀: Your confidence level plays a pivotal role. We guide you based on your confidence:

    • High Confidence: Apply directly to design studios.
    • Medium Confidence: Seek feedback, align your profile with industry needs, and then approach studios.
    • Low Confidence: Start with internships to gain experience.
    • Take Action 💪: Regardless of your confidence level, taking action is key. We recommend top internship platforms like Internshala and LetsIntern to kickstart your journey.
