Such an inspiring journey, glad to have Sargam as one of the mentors in my pod!

[@meholisarkar4738]

This is the MOST raw, real irl experience I came across! Thank you so much for this. Instils so much hope in me.

[@Dodo_di_dope]

Thank You ABNUX for bringing awesome content.

[@jhonbhai8943]

Totally informative to understand and get inspired 🌟

[@karanjeetsingh8446]

Thank you so much Abhinav....😇

[@raziabbas60]

Way to go sargam! Really nicely articulated the journey from an MNC To product design! Your grit and determination is quite evident through this interview and we can see how resilient you have been through it all! Takes a lot to make the shift and proud of you ! More to come

[@sargamg1110]

Thank you 🥺

[@rupeshgosain3522]

Going through a similar journey to Sargam, would like to connect and understand better how transition was and different challenges faced.

[@dipalikhodke7926]

thank you so much for this I just turned 28 and learning UX design but was afraid that am I too late but this video makes me feel motivated.

[@narutokunn]

I am 26 and thinking to switch from devops to design and this is so motivating! Also I am super surprised to hear what she said about the salary. The biggest reason that's stopping me from making an attempt to switch is that I wouldn't want to go back to freshers' salary (since I will be a newbie in design)

[@ichigo968]

Such motivational video and helps me a lot to not give up on this field though I am currently struggling to get an internship but I can't give up now

[@UTubeUzer]

Everyone having a thought designers and developers are gonna be replaced by AI... Can you make a detailed video on this ?! Thank you 🙂. Keep it up. Stay blessed 😇.

[@mprayagraj]

So relatable, I am currently in NP in CTS. From last 3 yrs I don't know what I am doing. Will take a break for 2 months and apply in UX field .

[@AbhimanyuMalave]

Hey Sargam all the best for you journey. When I was listening to your story I was relating to you totally the kind of struggle, doubts, speaking to people in the industry taking feedbacks. I was also working for 2 years with Tata Communications Limited and moved to UX/UI Design job role after resigning and did diploma in UX/UI then working on portfolio giving interviews taking feedbacks. With gods grace recently got a job joined this week. It was like one and half year struggle after leaving job. I was also from Computer engineering background I use to seem only engineers coders do the software and application. I used to doubt like really are designer there in IT industry even after listening to my friends who moved to design field. Being from engineering background I use to think only developers testers are the people who create digital products. And in Tcl I came to know job is something which cannot be done just for money you have to do it whole life we have to find out and explore ourselves and find a type of work which really motivates us , excites us. And at the age of 28 I got the UX/UI design job totally new to this field and got good salary. I just really appreciate the efforts and brave decision you made even at this age having worked in other role previously. All aspiring designers I just would say work on portfolio try to give your best shot at portfolio , interviews, design test and yes resume too. One more advice to designers while looking for a job u will face rejections some will select u some will not, take feedbacks and improve. There is always one company out there which matches all our expectations and theirs as well. Everything gets aligned with time. JUST Be patient, work hard and believe in the journey, its just matter of time. Even if Its late, its all worth it at the end of this beautiful journey.😇

[@sumeet3773]

What's your salary

[@AbhimanyuMalave]

@@sumeet3773 4 - 7 LPA

[@hawlapotta]

Now I'm thinking to switch from tcs too Totally relatable

[@sahilsingh-en8zf]

Hi, please make a video with a person who is from non tech background, you usually show people who are from engineering background (it/mech/elec). Another thing the packages you or people tell as freshers is really different from the real job postings 15-25 k only for fresher

[@ashutoshhade8417]

Same story as me, I applied for C9 looking forward to it

[@SwetaSingh-cv1ne]

That's Haskell..the programming language which she was trying to recall

[@debimishra7325]

May be the programming language was Mainframe
