I got a raise yesterday and I didn't ask for it nor did I expect it. I see the opposite for the design community. I see everything picking up. Not just for me. But for everyone. Just keep pushing hard n negotiate hard as well. Any salary is possible. Dont settle for mediocracy for your career.

What monospaced is trying to say, in his usual humour packed way, is that he is a good looking, well paid and very successful designer.

what bumdrizzle is trying to say, in her usual humor packed way, is that she is going to be a cunt despite your attempts at starting a regular, design-based, discussion thread.

Slightly off-topic. What site is that screenshot from? I'm on the job hunt and haven't seen that one! £0 per annum is better than nothing!

It's from www.creativetimes.co.uk which is a Manchester thing I think.

on a similar note:
Does anyone know of any job boards that would list in-house creative jobs?
All of the design community job search engines typically focus on studio and or agency openings and rarely ever see an in-house position for a large company.
Also on that note, does anyone have any experience being in-house with a larger company? What are the pros / cons?
- by larger company i'm thinking fortune 500, automotive, etcd_rek
- cons- long endless meetings, lots of acronyms, lots of paper work..e-pill
- pros- more people, more creatives, more energy, more life, more money...e-pill
- I work in-house at a large, Fortune 500 company. Very stable, great pay, less hectic, huge project, more calls.monospaced
- mono - you're at PWC, correct? They have an office very close to my current gig...d_rek
- I've worked at PwC in the past. Not the most creative place... although the new rebrand would be fun to work with for awhile.Amicus
