Designers, It’s Time to Jump What to Do When Entry-Level Isn’t There Anymore The path into the design industry has changed, and no one sent a memo. Entry-level roles are drying up, mentorship is rare, and early-career designers are being asked to “start mid-level” without a support system. In this episode, we break down what’s really going on, who it affects the most, and how designers caught in the middle can take control, stand out, and leap forward, even when the ladder is gone. Whether you’re a recent grad, a freelancer still trying to land your first big role, or just stuck in the void between “junior” and “senior,” this episode is for you. We cover: • Why entry-level jobs are disappearing • What skills actually matter now • How to build your own momentum • Why visibility beats perfection • Practical steps to future-proof your creative career This isn’t about waiting your turn. It’s about jumping the gap, and building the career that’s waiting on the other side. Link to Article
