In the blog, we talk a lot about the careers of programmers. We compare from which countries it is better to work and what to choose: Russian IT, relocation or remote. And for a programmer, the move scenario seems quite understandable and real, but how does it look for designers?
We spoke with Pavel Karpov @ paul86 , Lead Product Designer at Mail.Ru Group. At first glance, he did everything in his career wrong, but he achieved impressive results.
Even if you studied design yourself, and not in Britain. If your higher education is not in your profile. If there is no real work experience. If you don't know any languages other than Russian. You still have a chance of success, including in another country.
Pavel told what skills help in development, how to grow intensively in a career and get a job at Mail.Ru Group without a specialized education. By the way, this year he will be expanding his team in Mail, so if you want to try your hand, there are a couple of recommendations in the article.
