I recently helped a close friend navigate his career options after he was laid off from his remote Graphic Design job, where he had worked for 2 years. At 30 years old, he had already started learning UI/UX and building projects in anticipation of a career switch. After 3 months of job hunting, he finally received a UI/UX offer for 5 LPA. However, he’s feeling uncertain about whether to accept this offer or to take another remote Graphic Design position while pursuing freelance opportunities on the side. He’s weighing the pros and cons of each path. On one hand, taking the UI/UX role would allow him to focus on building a career in that field. On the other hand, the remote Graphic Design job could provide him with more flexibility to freelance and explore small business ideas. Given the current job market, he’s concerned about job security and whether it might be wiser to diversify his income streams rather than depend solely on one employer. I’ve been gathering opinions on which option might be better for him. Many suggest that taking the UI/UX job would provide him with a stable income while he continues to develop his skills, and that freelancing can be challenging without an established client base. Others have pointed out that remote graphic design jobs are becoming less reliable, so securing a paycheck might be the safer bet. I want to ensure he makes the best decision for his future, so I’m looking for practical advice to help guide him.
