The　value　of　designers　is　determined　by　market-based　compensation　which　reflects　the　status　of　the　design　industry,　the　career　paths　of　designers,　reform　directions　in　design　education　and　the　deconstruction　of　design　skills.　This　article　aims　to　elucidate　designers＇　requirements,　responsibilities　and　compensation　by　scrutinizing　online　job　advertisements.　Previous　studies　have　focused　on　macro　design　aspects　such　as　propaganda　and　procedural　methods,　neglecting　individual　designers＇　compensation　and　treatment.　This　study　used　Python　technology　to　search　for　online　job　and　analyzed　1,108　good　job　postings　using　content　analysis　and　descriptive　statistics.　Additionally,　interviews　were　conducted　to　investigate　the　skill　requirements　of　company　designers.　The　findings　revealed　vital　skill　points　that　contribute　to　increased　salaries　for　designers.　High-paid　designers　possess　core　skills　in　managing　design　strategies　and　business　processes.　Middle-paid　designers　demonstrate　abilities　in　executing　design　projects　and　working　in　teams.　Low-paid　designers　perform　better　and　have　better　software　capabilities.　The　research’s　findings　guide　students　in　choosing　their　majors　and　research　options　and　identify　core　skills　for　designers　already　in　the　workforce.　Furthermore,　this　study　offers　objective　data　for　enterprise　talent　acquisition　and　development　strategies.　©　2023　by　the　authors.
