Maybe I’m overthinking this, but I’m job hunting as a product designer and I’m not sure what’s expected anymore: should I just have a website portfolio, or also a separate deck / Figma presentation for interviews?

My current portfolio is pretty basic, because I am under NDA I cannot have detailed case studies in website. and I recently saw that some candidates were sharing detailed Figma case-study decks instead of just a website. Since most of my stronger work is in a confidential enterprise role, I’m wondering what’s more normal now, especially if you’re trying to move into a more design-mature company.

I’ve only had one design interview before, and it was years ago at a company with no real design team. I’m now trying to switch to a better org with stronger pay and an actual design culture, so I want to understand what format is most likely to get traction.

Would a strong website still be enough, or do most people now keep both a website and an interview deck?
