    If you are in creative field and you are not doing or want to do 10-16 hours a day, it's time to change industry. Time to move out of agency.

    Actually you never mentiones being on the agency side, maybe for in house at a small company, 80k is ok.

    Regardless, you can't really have a decent living with a family for 80k. You will need two cars with a family in LA. Walking is not an option.

    If you plan to move to states and change jobs after for higher / better company, it's tougher than you think if you have a family.

    CDs are glorified salesmen, at least get paid for the selling. Add salary contingency on sales or growth of company along with equity as you will be selling and selling.

    • I've done 15 years of 10-16 hr days. I'm still passionate about design but as you get older, you realise there are more important things (cheesy and over used but true)Alu
