One addition to the referral part. When approaching someone from a big company (Amazon, Microsoft, Google etc.), do your research and find opening/openings that you are interested in and think that you will be a right fit for. There are always huge number of openings across various teams. It’s unfair to expect the person you are approaching to search for an opening that will fit your interests and experience. It may come across as disrespectful. You will have better chances of getting a referral if you share the openings along with a short description on why you will be the right fit.
This is very valuable! Thank you for sharing this tip

The session was great man! Very informative :)
Quality content. thanks for the movie recommendation.
To be very honest, I've always preferred the UX of Google services more than that of Microsoft. I think that's why they have to invest more in terms of talent in that area

Glad we could answer your question :)
What are the benefits of becoming a ux designer in Microsoft or Google thank u very much for ur time
Can you interview Rahul chakroborty he is working in Google, he doesn't have a degree
Sir can you suggest good books for UI UX Design?
Microsoft many times ignore people who does not have degree (i am not talking about design degree here) I applied multiple times but they rejected me just because i am not eligible.
Maybe you can get referral.
Maybe you are not worth enough it's okay accept the harsh truth and change your path All the best ✨
Great talk ❤️
Glad you liked it Tausif!

Very informative sir

I'm digging your beard look. Keep it like that.
Haha! I always try to grow out a proper beard, but then end up shaving 😅
Honestly i feel like Microsoft has nothing to say about UX design, it's a dream job just because of the money
For me not because of money, but for the people and work culture.
Microsoft have users . So obviously they need UX .Btw I dont think so Microsoft UX team is that great of place to grow . You need to work on a product and I think Microsoft is far fetched in that regard. You end up working as a addition in existing successful product . Meh , its just waste of time .
If someone wants to see real UX design or what is the UX design just check Apple:) Microsoft?? Nah!
@@vi8946 True . But the experience working in a startup would get us more knowledge than apple .Just my thought .
@@parzivallevel1048 There is no clue:)
Whats the salary of a UIUX designer at maang? 0-2 years of experience
Hey Punit , I face a constant roadblock in my design process which is Multiple Design Options. Suppose there is a niche website , I kind of fall into the same trap or design result for any same kind of applications. How can we effeciently produce multiple viable options for a same kind of app?
Take bootcamp course bro of ux anudeep

Yes, they need a good designer...😂😂

I actually have a doubt that can AI(Artificial intelligence) REPLACE or AFFECT the job of a UX/UI Designer?

Hello
I am pursuing Bachelor of Design
From which college and in which field specifically (in UI/UX design)?
Please let your guest talk more
Thanks for the feedback Shiva. To be honest I had to cut out a lot because it was more than an hour long. Wanted to keep it short and crisp. Will definitely look into it next time :)
He had some knowledge about coding thats why he was taken people with zero knowledge about coding won't get into big companies!
Buddy punit if you are interviewing someone you have let that person talk.
Ayushman khurana 😀😀
You have interview from a interaction designer who is ex Microsoft... But still write UX/UI designer... You did that as the audience don't kno that or as you are confused that UX and UI are 2 different thing..
I do know the difference and we actually spoke about it behind the scenes. I used UX/UI because I understand that my audience connects more to that :). Also, his role was connected closely to UX and UI
@@PunitChawla Yes Punit, that's what I I thought, but don't you thing as a influencer with 50k subscribers don't you feel it's your responsibility to guide the audience that UX designer and UI designer are different role... Knowing and understanding both is a advantage but both are completely different fields... Teach your subscribers rather than using wrong term to just attract more audience... Thanks, Abhijeet
