I could never understand how cats in NY spend a good chunk of their income on living in a box.

(Mar 21 07, 17:37)70k us = 80k canadian. after tax probably about 50k. You could live pretty comfortably on that in Toronto.
I know where I am at now the last senior designer was on $60k (50k us). I think that's about average, in Toronto.

one can easily do six figs on the freelance tip
- canuck0
But how many hours are you putting in for that?
- material-10
actually
$50/hr x 40 hours per week = $100,000so not too many. work a little more and live it up.

$50 is really the minimum for freelance, ya hear.

hear, hear!

shiz.. 50 bucks an hour is lowww.
If I didnt have a family and want security over money... i would be freelancing in a heart beat.
the rates are more like 75-100 an hour ... if you are good and always come through.
With steady work you can clear 150k+ easy a year.
I mean, even now with my full time job I do a few freelance projects a year and make 10-20k extra easy.

Thanks Hewmiri for the compliment.
You have some sweet vector stuff.
That is my next push in my design career besides art direction... more vector.
Been doing so much video / photoshop type sites I have let it slip... got my wacom and am ready to start

anyone successfully negotiate fully paid health insurance?
75K is not bad i think, compared to what i'm pulling now. What should I ask for Bonus-wise 10% of salary?
- same0
man.. you will have a tough time with the bonus... most companies either have a set bonus structure already set, or their asses pucker up tighter than a cramp
- joyride0
i've never worked for anyplace that gave me a bonus...
Well, unless you count a watch for making it a year. But that was my first place, since them no, nota, nothing

is there any good site out there to find an accurate salary average based on location/company size?

130-150k a year freelance in NYC is very easy to do... there is too much work out there right now... could die down soon but right now is a very good time to freelance....

I just got bumped yesterday from 50k to 70k. felt pretty nice, consideriing i'm mid-level
- blastofv0
lots of big numbers getting thrown around for freelance...
who's really clearing 130K freelancing? and if you are, what kind of work? how much of that is landing your own projects versus freelancing on site with agencies?
I don't doubt that it's achievable, but anybody who says 130K is a piece of cake is either a superstar or they're full of shit.
sorry for the cynicism – I may be out of line...but I don't think so. and I really am curious.
