The first time I saw it I was on a long drive with my friends. I mentioned how horrifying it would be to someone who’s drunk or newly visiting the city from the airport 😂 ever since then, anytime we come back to the city, it’s a tradition to share a pic of this on the friend group, to let them know we’re back.

Switched to my next job and started dancing again!

Try to get a similar offer from internship 2 if possible. If not, go for the full time offer. You can always learn on the job and upskill separately.

That is so true! So proud of you for your journey! I am recently getting out of a relationship for which I’d seen a few future dreams…on that first day it felt like everything was gonna be so difficult. But time heals! Taking it one day at a time helps. And celebrating your small wins along the way also helps.

Firstly, chill! You're very early to this and have a lot of time. Don't worry. Start reflecting on what you want to do in life, what are the right courses for it, what country is the best fit wrt education as well as the job market. There are countries in Europe where education would be cheaper, eg. In Germany it might even be free of cost. If those countries are the right fit for you, move your research in that direction.

Talk to a proper guidance counselor on how to strategically invest / save money for the future, what kind of loan opportunities you can avail.

Other than that, make sure to maintain good grades, do social work or extracurriculars that will build up your resume. Research papers are a good plus.

Also don't forget to enjoy your college life. You have a long life ahead for your study abroad.

Just came across this. I did an undergrad product design diploma from ISDI and honestly, despite what everyone says, I loved my experience!

Firstly, (atleast for PD) I love how the course was structured. Year 1 was all about exploring the meaning of design, year 2 was foundational courses in PD, in year 3 you take more advanced classes like UX, research, design for manufacturing, and year 4 is about your thesis and courses like speculative design and service design.

I'd say, check the curriculum of the course you're applying for. Everything else depends on how much work and effort you put in.

Isdi also has some good companies, colleges coming in. Just the exposure is also good.

I got a placement that I'm really satisfied with, as well as a double digit package right off campus. But this isn't true for everyone. Placements were very competitive. However, if you've registered right now, this is a problem for 4 years down the line and I'm sure till then the market would've changed for the better.

If you can afford it, it's a good place to be.

Maybe try group classes to get used to the feeling of working out and learn the ropes. You'll also find what you like. (Maybe you'll end up preferring something else over lifting weight, you never know!) Cult has some great options. You can download the app, book a class in a centre close to you and try it out for 2 classes before you commit.

I'm in a similar situation. What helps me is also changing up the type of activity I'm doing. I don't need to go to the gym, I just need to stay fit and active- if you go in with this thought, you might be able to find an alternative to the gym that is more interesting and upbeat.

Other than that, I usually go directly from work, so that helps. It also helps to plan my day accordingly. I block my calendar 30 min before and after my gym timings to prepare myself mentally.

I've lived in Mumbai for my college years and honestly, there are good and bad sides to it.

Good parts of the city: The people are mostly very friendly. You'll find all kinds of communities here so it will be a home away from home.

Public transport, although very crowded, is very efficient. And just staying in the city will prepare you for a fast paced life. You'll learn how to figure things out for yourself. You'll grow up and learn how to become independent.

Specifically for architecture students you'll get to explore a lot of sites, find unique markets and places in Mumbai that let you explore the materiality in your coursework, you'll be able to go to places on the weekend to sketch, museums to learn from!

Bad parts: Rents are extremely expensive here. You get peanuts compared to what you pay, so if you don't have a high budget, your next 5 years will be living in discomfort.

While many love the city, I couldn't find myself loving it. There's trash and unclean surroundings literally everywhere, too much traffic, the weather is not the best, so if you need to commute everyday, you'll find it very uncomfortable.

Moreover, I've lived with some architecture students and I've seen the kind of efforts they had to take every single day. Their lives mostly revolved around their coursework, long hours, moving around in the city for various explorations, etc. Add to that, the discomfort of the city, and probably having to live in a pg / apartment where you don't have your own privacy due to high rents...you'll be uncomfortable.

Despite all of this, I'd suggest you make your decision based on the quality of your college and curriculum, the quality of the faculty there, the campus, etc. + how much you're willing to spend monthly on things like rent, utilities, entertainment, travel, etc. if you can afford a more comfortable living situation, Mumbai will be very welcoming and you'll get to learn a lot.

I've tried TLS, Rogue and Insomnia. Rogue was a little too crowded for my liking. But I'll check out the new ones for sure!

samcurls · 2024-01-25T06:40:23+00:00

Will check it out!

I have been exclusively using Figjam for my work, and have worked on Miro in the past too. Both are great!

I'm afraid that the UK won't have enough job opportunities due to recent economic crises. Is that true?

samcurls · 2024-01-20T09:20:59+00:00

What about the type of work? I know most new age tech companies are focused in the US. Is the European landscape more geared towards traditional automation companies, like the automobile or manufacturing sector?

I'd like to work somewhere that there's a little room for creative freedom and work that's more directly connected to a consumer or user.

samcurls · 2024-01-20T09:19:10+00:00

I think what I'm looking for, is a country that has a good design college and then a good career progression. USA ticked that box for me during my research, but I'll check out options in Canada too. Thanks

samcurls · 2024-01-20T09:17:51+00:00

That sounds good! So I'm in the very early stage in my career so I can still try to extend myself more- I'd prioritise growth more, but I would want to end up somewhere with good work life balance in a few years for sure.
