I’ve been researching creative career options recently and interior design seems to be growing a lot, especially in cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Mumbai.

But I’m curious about the reality of the field:

• What’s the actual starting salary for freshers?
• Can interior designers earn well in the long term?
• Is freelancing better than working at firms?
• Which cities have better opportunities?

Found this detailed salary breakdown while researching:

Would love to hear from people already studying or working in interior design.

Been noticing a lot of mixed opinions lately about photography as a career in India — some say it’s growing through weddings/content creation/commercial work, while others feel AI + mobile photography are making it harder.

Curious what people here honestly think about the future of photography in 2026.

• Which niches are actually sustainable now?
• Is freelancing realistic for beginners?
• Does learning photography formally still help, or is self-learning enough?
• Are videography + content creation becoming more important than photography alone?

Found this article that breaks down career scope, jobs, income & opportunities pretty well, especially from an India perspective:

Would genuinely like to hear real experiences from people already working in the field.
