Help a gal out...I just moved to Vancouver and am trying to work out a salary range that I can expect here. I have 3 1/2 years experience during which time I have worked in broadcast, teaching, interactive TV, kiosks, dvd's, with the majority of my exerience in the web. I am more of a designer and flash animator although I do know a certain amount of html...though not experienced enough to say I can put a whole html site together in a reasonable amount of time! My clients have included Universal, Paramount, Lexus, The WB, Warner Brothers, AETN, and Lifetime.
Its just I have worked in the UK and the States and know from experience that salary expectations for different countries are very different. So, if you guys could throw me some numbers for a senior designer or art director I'd love ya forever! Oh, and what do people charge for hourly freelance rates here?
Wanna be armed with all the info possible as I have a meeting with a company this week about an art director position....
Thanks!

I hope the stagnant US Economy doesn't hurt your chances. TO seems ok according to some people, but hell, it's shitty here in mainland USA. :(

It's much worse here in Canada than the US. The US' economy is growing and getting stronger but in Canada we aren't seeing much but worse.
