About design roles
Design roles range from UX research and product design (problem-finding) to visual/brand work (problem-expressing). Most companies hire generalists who can do both. Portfolio quality usually beats credentials.
Typical skills: Figma, prototyping, type/color fundamentals; senior roles add design systems and cross-functional facilitation

How to prep for the interview
Design interviews always include a portfolio review — 1–2 case studies presented in 30–45 minutes each. The interviewer is looking for: how you frame the problem, your process (research → ideation → iteration), tradeoffs you made, and what you'd do differently. Don't just show pretty final screens; show the messy middle.
You may also get a whiteboard / design exercise ("redesign the checkout flow for X") and a behavioral round on collaborating with engineers and PMs. Read the company's existing product before the interview — referencing specific screens or flows during your conversation signals you actually care about the role.
Where this role typically leads
Designer progression: Junior → Mid → Senior → Staff / Principal Designer, with parallel tracks for design management (Design Manager → Head of Design → VP Design). At big tech, the IC track now pays competitively with management up through Principal — pick based on what energizes you, not assumed pay.
The biggest skill jump: going from "executes well on a clear brief" to "frames the problem and defines the brief" (mid-to-senior), then "sets visual + interaction direction across multiple teams" (senior-to-staff). Strong portfolio = career velocity. Build a habit of writing up your work in case-study form even when you're not job-hunting.
Red flags to watch for
- "Designer needed to make things pretty." Real design is problem-solving, not decoration. Companies that frame it this way will fight you on every UX recommendation.
- No mention of research or testing. Means design happens in a vacuum, often pushed back at the last minute by stakeholders.
- "Pixel-perfect" repeated. Either the engineering team is non-collaborative or the role is glorified hand-off work.
- No design system mentioned at a company >50 people. You'll spend your first 6 months building one instead of shipping product work.
