  94k NYC

  You are a ...
  - mid level designer at a design firm with under 5-7 years experience
  - art director at small ad firm with under 5-7 years experience

  100-120k NYC
  - senior designer at a design firm with 5-9 years experience

  • Less than 110k=AD or Designer
    More than 110k=ACD, CD or Freelancer– robotron3k1/6

    It depends on experience. I've see designers make more than Art Directors and Creative Directors. Especially if you're freelance.– nthkl2/6

    freelance and god level.– nthkl3/6

    god level? is that below rockstar and above ninja?– monospaced4/6

    I'd say it's someone that you just can't book. No matter what the price. Untouchable.– nthkl5/6

    i.e. above all.– nthkl6/6

  You could buy a vacation villa in Detroit.

  • <<<<<<<<<<– fyoucher11/5

    haha. indeed.– akrok2/5

    but detroit is a shithole and shouldn't be mentioned in this thread... who the fuck vacations there?!?!?– monospaced3/5

    They can't afford a vacation in Detroit and if they could, they would leave. No one would go there for a vacation.– CyBrainX4/5

• pixellette

  look at http://designsalaries.org/calcul…

  It always seem a bit lower than what # people will throw out but I often wonder if they are padding the number up to make themselves look good.

  • I think its perfectly fine to push to 95k just to see, otherwise 93 is doable– pixellette1/2

    only shoot for average salary if you are average.– monNom2/2
