    ok by junior/grad we mean someone straight out of uni who maybe talented at design but is really slow and has little or no real world experience. with coaching and time a junior can produce the same work as a senior, but the difference is time. eg..

    Can you whip up 10 logos for a client presentation at 2pm.
    Senior gives you 20 useable logos at 1pm
    Junior has 2 great logos at 2.30

    For this i wouldn't pay more than £20k, how is that a return on investment. unless you're training someone up. if that's the case then salary jumps up with ability. If you're under 25 in the UK, i can't see you earning over £30k as a graphic design. surely? maybe i'm wrong. i left the UK 7 years ago.

    on the flip side. come out to shanghai. a fully qualified, bi-lingual graduate is £2,250 per year.

    • completing and presenting 10 new logos in less than a day is a bad idea altogetherSigDesign
    • Sounds like moving to Shanghai would be a one way journey then?Ranger
