Helo hive. I’d love your help with the following. I am building a creative services studio. What is the fair going rate for studio peeps. Photoshop guru, Motion graphics, PM, retoucher. This team will help take the comping load off art directors, as well as build decks and create social assets. Grateful for your responses.

Depends on the city, their experience, and the number of projects they’re working on simultaneously.
Not 100% sure but I’d bet a studio designer will probably start at around 120K, a motion graphics person around 150K, and a retoucher between 90 and 110K

Thank you. Detroit

Assuming all mid level: 75K - 120K

Highest paid should be the motion designer since they are typically both designers and animators so a bit of a 2-in-1.

A studio designer for 120 seems very high, studio is usually paid a lot less than creative.

I’m in sf so probably a little skewed. there’s a lot of competition for retaining designers with like tech companies

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both. Either I love the job and I’m grossly underpaid or the job is totally mediocre but the money is great. Is it really possible to have it all or do I need to lower my standards? Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?
