Craig Ramsay Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I remember in an old issue of 3D world there was an article about salaries for people working in the UK 3D industry, it gave figures for what you could expect to earn if you were just starting out in a 3D position and also what you could expect to be earning when you have a decent amount of experience. How about we start a poll to figure out how much us UK guys/girls are earning? It can be completely anonymous and I think it would be really interesting, may even get a few people a wage rise! What do you think? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 yes, would be interesting to know a general view on uk salaries. anyway, if in the UK, this is a fairly usefull salary scale when asking ur boss for a raise - http://www.hays-montrose.co.uk/pdf/uk/common/arc/cad-architectural-technician.pdf (take into account inflation, as this list is getting on for 2 years old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STRAT Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 why not extend it to world wide too? a world wide salary poll, including freelancers, employed guys, partimers, ect etc. get the questions together and i'll see what i can do e-mail me.

Chad Warner Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I think a worldwide poll would be quite interesting! -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thing is, people are going to be paid differently depending on what country they are in so I think we should have more than one poll then maybe a SUPER POLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 True, but people could figure out the exchange rate. Or perhaps make everyone post their salary with a standard monetary unit. -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Yeah but what I mean is someone in Australia for example may get paid half as much as in Germany so that wouldnt really work, namsayn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullen Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 What if everyone was to just enter their country as well? That way we could sort the results at the end and it would be broke down for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Ramsay Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Sounds good to me... is it possible to create a poll like keeping everyone anonymous? Just a simple check box type poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingeldar Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 a world wide poll? would be totally irrelevant because.... ... a dollar is not equal to a dollar worldwide... i mean : in some countries with 1$ (converted to local rates Changerate is irrelevant in what i'm explaining) you can buy twice or 3x or 10x what u can buy in another country let's have an simple example France and Switzerland in France u can buy 20 or 30% more things with 1$ in switzerland prices are more exepensive so are Salaries so if u don't know the prices differences between basic lifenecessary products u can't compare salary from a country to another Even inside Euro zone in Europe it's impossible and it will be worst in a few month with da 10 new members... so how do u want to compare usa, australia gb france switzerland brazil india indonesia germany russia (just a few country of members that post a ot here....) worldwide poll seems irrelevant to me...

Vince Paske Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 You can find some information on the thread "Workflow to make it through the year" in this forum. Lot's of people gave some good info on what they are charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullen Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I would think if we did it this way it would help us to see the averages in our own countries. Knowing that there is differences in currency, I probably would pay attention to the many of the other contries averages. I just think it would be a way to give everyone their average without doing multiple polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Either that or make me want to move to the country with the highest salary! -Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzy Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I like the idea. Since I am looking for a job nowadays. I want to get an idea about the salaries in US. I think it should be simple... May be like this What is your position ? 3d modeler, architect, Animator What is your country ? US, Canada, UK, France,Other What is your yearly income approx. US$ ? Do you think that your income is... higher than average, average, too low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Jeff will be sorting out the 'polls' option of the forum in the next few days. stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_bock Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 the point presented by Kingeldar is quite important, in fact this poll (globalization Version), can be irrelevant if we dont settle a group of important basic products (like meat-kl/price; potatoes, music CD,etc.. ). I'm sure that doing this, whe can understand better how some of us can practice lower prices etc.. then i can decide if i stay in or i move into Recife !!
