Whether you should wait for NID (National Institute of Design) campus selections or start applying for open job interviews depends on your individual circumstances and career goals. Consider your long-term career goals. Are you specifically interested in working in a design-related field, and is NID your top choice for pursuing those goals? If so, waiting for NID campus selections might be a good option.
NID campus selections typically have their own schedules and timelines. If you're close to the selection date and believe you have a good chance of getting selected, waiting might make sense. However, if it's uncertain when the selections will take place, you might want to explore other opportunities in the meantime.
It's often a good idea to have a backup plan. If you have the qualifications and skills for other job opportunities, applying for open job interviews can provide you with a safety net in case the NID selection process doesn't work out.
Consider your financial situation. If you have immediate financial needs or responsibilities, you may not be able to wait for campus selections and may need to start earning income sooner. Your personal circumstances matter. Factors such as family commitments, location preferences, and other personal considerations can influence your decision.
