    Always focus on the creative. The money will grow with the portfolio over time. You can always parlay your good work into a new better paying job in a couple of years.

    But if you go with the money now and neglect your portfolio, you'll end up creating your own glass ceiling.

    • I'm not sure I agree with this. I know plenty of extremely talented people who are poor.Josev
    • Well, nothing in life is guaranteed.
      But do you know wealthy designers with shitty portfolios?

    • Yes, I do know wealthy designers with crappy portfolios.Josev
    • So it's more likely to get paid well with a shitty portfolio than a good portfolio. OK. thanks for playing.randommail
    • I didnt say that. I do think the people who are better self-promoters are the most successful. And it often has less to do with their design abilities.Josev
    • less to do with their design ability, unfortunately.Josev
