What the number means

Product designer posts a blended US median near 126,000 dollars, well above the graphic- and UX-designer bands, because the title now means someone who owns a product surface end to end, from research to shipped interface, rather than someone who makes screens pretty. The premium is for the ownership, and it is real: the gap to graphic design runs to tens of thousands of dollars for work that shares most of its tools. If you are a designer weighing the move, the pay is the argument, and the route from graphic and UX design is a matter of evidence, not new software.
