Hey, aussie's
Ive landed a design job in Sydney but Im on one of those pishy 3month visa's and will be paid hourly.

50 an hour in melbourne, sometimes lower, like 30 an hour.
depends on the place/client.
30 minimum for a mid weight to senior.

Im really surprised at the level of pay.
I didnt think I would get design job here. Then watching the news the other night, graphic designers was #4 on the list of occupations that couldnt be filled in nsw.
up north it was #1.

i've been working as a graphic designer in a corporate company here in KL for 1 and a half year.
i believe i have a strong print portfolio.
im quitting to study in UNSW fine arts ( a year and a half for BFA) this june. am wondering if i am allowed to do part time graphic designing in sydney to support my expenses.
any advise?

I have a friend who runs a large Ad agency (digital department) in Sydney if you are looking for work.
Also a few other people I worked for are looking.
