Depends on the type of designer and level. Junior, Mid Level, Senior. On the brand side the mid-level median will be somewhere around 55-65k.
Don’t forget to look at the total comp package when going to in-house. A lot of times where the salary is lower than an agency they make up for it with 401k/retirement plans, benefits/insurance, performance bonus, vacation, work life balance, etc.
I would say the range is 90-110k
Not as a mid-level designer on the brand side. I spent 18 years building and leading in-house agencies at big brands. The most I’ve ever seen a designer position benchmarked was 70k. You might be able to get closer to 80-90 in LA or NYC, but the rest of the country 90-110 is Senior AD or Senior Designer level.
