3 Super Important Things to do When Looking to Relocate as a Product Designer
After last week's live portfolio review, Tyler and Nick continue where they left off and go deeper into the challenges designers face when trying to stand out in a global job market. They discuss what changes when you apply for design roles in another country and why most designers struggle.
They explain how to adapt your portfolio for a new region, why English mockups can make or break interviews, and how to use remote contracts as stepping stones toward relocation. They also cover when free work is smart, when it is not, and the red flags you must watch for before accepting an unpaid role.
If you want to work in another country and have no idea where to start, this episode gives you the practical steps to follow.
