Well it's time for raises over where I work at but I'm not sure what my salary should be since I am such a hybrid (as most of us are) designer. I do graphic design, original illustrations, flash, html stuff some 3D too. I was hired on at a low salary cuz it was all I could find and some people where not convinced of what I was capable of. But the gig is actually very fun at time and diverse. But with the economy bust I feel I've gotten abit shafted with my salary. Can any of you guys kinda help me figure out how much I should fight for in my upcoming review? About where should I be?

No, it's 'your'.
It's 'WHAT's' tho.
- dopepope0
unless, it's not a question... and I see no '?' . So it IS 'What'.
Hmmmm.

I'd say you're lucky to get anything at all. Michael's gonna have to sell Neverland after this fiasco is over with. Try to steal something you can sell on ebay, like the Elephant Man's bones, or MJ's old face.

you've got to show how money you are. talk about your contributions to the company how it improved the business. if you are all around hands on, you should be able to nagotiate, like if you are to leave does your company need to hire 2 persons to do your job?
whatever to convince them. i recently read Harvard Business Review on nagotiation methods. designers need to start learning it.

Find out what others are getting in your area. Build up a case for why you should earn more. If they don't give it to you and you feel like you are still getting screwed, start looking elsewhere while at the current job.
