(Jun 1 07, 00:00)Make sure you remember that feeling. Things are more mundane when you have to eventually turn up for work at one of these gigs.

It's not about hotshot agencies.
I regret leaving a small but great studio for a job offer from a BIG name company, and once i started there it turned out to be a huge disappointment.And people (companies) do not seem to care THAT much as long as your work is alright.

salise, why are you getting 15 monthly payments a year?

(May 31 07, 03:10)that question is actually meant for the author of this thread... i dunno where salise came from...

flexibility and future vision now, you will end up posting to http://adverbatims.blogspot.com/… either way sooner or later ;)
- OBBTKN0
This is madness...
A have offered more flexibility, after B re-offered more money and now A re-re-offered more money, flexibility and future vision...

Surprised me too...
But the way people do money on this agency is doing much extra hours, and i´m talking about CD, C and Designers, part of company´s policy.
And all packed in a brand new big building.

can't claim much of your work as your own at mega-powerfull-brilliant agencies. Suprised they'd pay less though, but that's probably the position.
Count another a-vote from me.
btw did that studio ever settle on their tagline?

subversve... you´re talking about san fermines in pamplona on July??
OBBTKN
(May 31 07, 02:49)yes, that's it. bilbao was beautiful and basque women are amazing.

subversve... you´re talking about san fermines in pamplona on July??
if yes, is True. You can see the girl percentage increased compared another month on this dates...
Time to meet chicks, but hold your balls for when the men return to town!

nairn, while you're in bilbao, can you help me with something?
i was there a couple of years ago, and as i got off the train, i got a few looks from some very pretty girls. as i continued through the train station and to my hotel room, i caught more glances coming my way, even from women pushing strollers. the first night i went out, it wasn't any different, women were even coming up and flirting with me. now, i don't usually illicit this much attention, so it felt a lot like an episode of the twilight zone. it wasn't til the next day that i realized something... there weren't that many men around. it seemed as though the female population outnumbered the men three to one. then it hit me! the running of the bulls was that week in san sebastian! i'm not sure, but i figured that most of the men were out of town for the event.
while you're there, can you keep an eye out and let me know if girls still out number guys, or if it was just me? i'd like to know if i should plan another trip, as it was a fun few days :)

WTF!! 1600/month as CD??
I make 2.5 times that as a Senior and I still don't think it's enough..
Guess Iceland and Spain is very different.
Well, regardless of pay, pick A for sure
- OBBTKN0
Living costs? very expensive! (depending the area) not easy to get a rental, and you can get apartaments below this money, but you´re going to live with much rats ;))
The floor-price is very expensive, but there are plans to change this...
And yes, a junior designer here is payed close to this, 800-900 €/month.
BCN and basque country are going to be the Indias of design.
But is wonderfull to life here if you get an apartment near to a little town, and near to the sea.
If you learn some tricks can live with this money.
And food, wine and clubing is cheap even in some places!
Are you thinking on come with us?
- rafalski0
What are the living costs like in your region? I guess food is relatively cheap, as it is in the rest of Spain, but what about property/rental? Can you buy a decent apartment below €150000?
And then, is the money you've been offered considered good?
We'd been repeating here that €12000/year (minus taxes) was a regular junior salary in bcn - is it true in el País Vasco?
- OBBTKN0
yeah rafa... 12 months + 3 extra paychecks.
And yes too... time is life.
I´m going A, and try to live a bit... i´m going to pass the summer touching my balls, and recharging my batteries for a relaunch on my career here.
- rafalski0
What do you mean by "1600 €/month x 15 payments."? Is it 12 months +3 extra paychecks?
I went for 4 days/week in-house contracting a year ago, never regreted it for a second. One free day a week means 2 extra months a year for travel/ freelance/ whatever.
Time is life, isn't it?
- OBBTKN0
you´re right, level...
this is not time for getting mad all my family with my career.
thanks all!
