At Deloitte, it's around $82k for a UX Design Consultant right out of college.

S&A

I might not be correct but its in that range.

Client side: I started at 96k base. After 6 months, I was promoted and my pay went up to 168k base at the same company. Took 1.5 year leave. Came back to agency at 157k

That makes total sense . Your 10 years give you a boost that makes you capable of dealing with big crítica matters - no wonder you took the responsibilities of a director level. A lot of design at higher level is about confidence and the ability to drive it, you clearly have it ! Congrats and yay on having a boss that saw and advocated for you !

Depends on where you are. Here’s a real world example:

I graduated May 2020 and had 3 offers

1.) Venture for America (would put me in a major city, but not NYC or SF): 40k start as a ux designer

2.) medium (~500 by employees) sized tech company in Southeast USA: 50k

3.) Large tech (not FAANG, but still top ~10 largest SaaS): 102k

That’s where I work! Did you take the job?

I make 75k and a UX Consultant at a larger management consulting firm in the Midwest :) there’s one data point for you

like

For agencies in NY it can start around 65-70k . If you have an outstanding portfolio, even if not real projects - it can push you to 90k

like

In that case : have a clear and straightforward explanation of why your portfolio isn’t representative of your skills. It can actually be the Reason you are looking for a new job. Being super honest : imagine we don’t have a lot of time - I want to look at only 2-3 projects, and decide if there’s something then to start a full hiring process. I can assure a lot of my friends are the same, so if you don’t have anything to fit in those 3 buckets by all means find a open source project or even a personal project and re/design something interesting. For UX is a bit trickier, so write about process and show some deliverables to spark the conversation.

I’d say 75k to 90k is a good starting range. Also depends on your area because the Bay will pay better than the Midwest for example.
