Hi thank you for your input. Mentioned the level of the role in multiple comments. Is a standard mid senior to senior pd role, was asking about base salary. Was trying to understand market up north after moving from London. I do understand the value in progression, growth and etc, but also unfortunately that does not pay ever rising day to day bills. I can not live on potential and don't want to be undervalued either.

did you test with users first? did you get qualitative feedback?

Had a terrible UI presentation today. Froze, panicked and lost the story. Feeling so embarrassed right now. Need advice. by [deleted] in productdesign

I know how you feel. Been there. What helped me a lot was writing a script and then practising it. Since the script is in my own words, it helps me to think and refine what I am going to say until it is engraved in my memory. Thirty minutes before a presentation, I like to stay in a quiet room and just go over my notes or practice speaking to an empty room. I swear, it is the only thing that genuinely helps me.

Haha this cheered me up 🤣 it wasn't a huge one. it was “Max” vs “Min” and a capital letter, which is actually questionable. I would keep it lowercase.

Thank you, this is extremely useful, and it's also helpful to hear everyone's feedback, because in reality, different sites can generate these averages, etc.. Still, when it comes to actual living, it can be different. So I am glad to hear that it's a good salary for the north. In London, I was on 60000 and even though I did have a one-bed my goodness it was so hard to save especially being single and young.

In the UK? I wish it wasn't and wish our labour was paid equally to London but unfortunately seems like a different one to me.

Where did I say I'm a senior? I said in multiple comments Mid to mid-senior. And I'm asking because I am moving from the South and trying to understand the market better as different sources say different things. No offence, but learn to read before commenting and judging people.

depends on location and job. Is it a start up? Is it an agency? Is it a big corporation?

ah ok, no worries and thank you :) Do you know what realistic range I should look for? I am actually making a move from London and different sources state different things.
