What do you think someone in NYC doing interactive design and motion design should be making a year? I am trying to get a feel for the wages in manhattan. This would be assuming 3-4 years exeperience. This would be working for an agency, not freelance. Any estimates?

I'm learning as I research Boston salaries that there is "should be paid" and what you "will be paid".
The space between is an abyss, my friend.

you'll probably get paid enough to accept the job, but less than you are worth. thats generally how it works...

i usually ask for $1/mouseclick.

With your portfolio min 70k (+ bonus and benfits)

If you're not making over 90k a year then give up. I hear they pay garbage collectors that in nyc. You want to be better than a garbage man right?

Damn, alot of great feedback. I am thinking 85,000 double cheesburgers could do... need a shake with that.
although the 1 dollar a click is awful tempting ;)

not many agencies will pay you more than 90k for an AD. some Sr AD, ACD candidates will get 100k+.
from your experience, i'd say around 75-80k.
are you excellent at flash, how is your presentation skill to your internal team or clients? have you managed designers?
try to do 15%+ from your current pay. that seems to be the average.

tkmeister, I think your right. At least from what I have seen in the area. Sometimes I use the AIGA salary calculator, but in the past I have found that to be actually off in areas, as to be expected though.

you gonna have a hard time finding a good creative agency though. i saw your portfolio. many good small studios won't pay much. you can get more at big agencies like Ogilvy, Y&R, MRM, but i bet you'll get bored.
what is it that you are after? also, you are still young. don't get too caught up with money crap and actually build really solid experience that will make you stand out in a crowd. think about where you want to get to in your career when you are 30-40.
think different.
