    I am currently helping a client find a qualified UX developer/designer for his company and I can personally tell you that a vast majority of the resumes are a joke. Like I previously stated in my previous post...most of "UX Peeps" are really just glorified project coordinators, project managers, account services, interns, writers or kids fresh out of college with Liberal Arts degrees trying to jump on the gravy train of "User Experience" related positions that often pay significantly more than Senior Designer and or Art Director jobs. I really can't blame them, this industry has really gone to hell in a hand basket.

    According to salary based websites in the US:
    The average User Experience Developer salary is $85,000 per year
    (1-3 yrs. experience)
    The average User Experience Designer salary is $73,000 per year
    (1-3 yrs. experience)
    The average Senior Designer salary is $54,000 per year
    (10 yrs. experience)
    The average Senior Designer salary is $84,000 per year
    (12-15 yrs. experience)
