Salary expectation of Senior/Lead Product Designer / Product Design Manager with 9 YOE
Coming from CS engg. background with work-ex in 6 companies across fintech, travel, hospitality, SaaS and aviation industry.

Not hireable. Job hopping is a big redflag

Designer.
After building a scalable design system what will this guy do sticking around ? 😂
OP cannot force the product team to forcefully build new products or features, just because they want to stay longer and design. 😂
It's perfectly fine to hop around.

9 years - 6 firms: big red flag. Hardly can accomplish anything in 1.5 years on average.

I happened to hire my own head of design and got a chance to view their current and past compensation. As per those this pole is highly incorrect. They received around 35 LPA and new compensation around 40-50 ~ish. A 10+ year career, an engineer turned designer, masters from US and stints in HP, Adobe and 2 famous Indian startups.
