My first ux job was 60k and had 6 years of graphic design experience. This is the Philly suburbs so I’d assume you’d get at least 20k more for DC area?

I have finally had it with all my job application rejections and am strategizing to get more experience.

I know CSS, HTML, JavaScript, WordPress, Adobe Premiere/Photoshop and am willing to learn any technology for an opportunity to help out.
