previously a product designer, but now just grad and joined a interior design company
probation gaji 1000
petrol + 200
minimum commission + 200 in case of low season
commission 4% of any project i get
so basicly i can get >2k if i'm doing good and i get regular projects
and usually ppl spend >20k for just a kitchen
and if they rich and want to do the whole house i'll be

nice! at least u got commission... thats not the case for media design industry, unless u r boss's right hand (maybe creative director?).

WORK MORE = EARN MORE (maybe)
but the career path remain stagnant. designer earn more because they work faster, work longer, and finish more projects. the lucky ones will get better reputation and get better pay.

eh that's low leh.

when i was in your role i got more than 2k and that was like 3 - 4 years back.

Opinion for my job: Actually I work as ASP.NET web developer..but I also do Joomla templating, Joomla customization, website development with Joomla and lalalala..I learned PHP when I was in university then took J2EE intensive training and now doing ASP.NET at work. I love designing more than programming and always kill my free time with PS and AI. Well, in short, I love my job.

focus on asp.net, sql server, javascript.

yeah I think not bad too..but I am not really into this programming stuff especially ASP. I just take it as a hobby and keep on learning new things like RoR and etc. My greatest passion and interest is still more on designing.

eh? i thought interior designer salary are more higher? My friend same college studied interior all kaya wan.

depends on what kinds of company they have landed in. most are idiotic chinaman bossed companies, where u work as cow for them n get fed with dried grass.

in some, u r treated like a race horse; they take good care of u, u win for them n so forth

sadly chinaman companies are growing everywhere like mushrooms

totally agree!

i dunno why all the designers price always started with very low from last time till now.

or maybe just this country?

And not that they know much abt designing anyways....most of the time they would just show u pics from books and magazine and expects us to come up with the same shit.

I mean i know nothing is original but - in simple manglish 'like dat i oso can design' LOL

+1
they wan looks as good as their competitors, but not better than them

they dunno how is it like la.. to them designing is like drawing.. anything dun like wanna change very easy only.. like just erase and put a new one.. they dont realise sometimes just one small bit takes alot of time and effort to create.. let alone change. not forgetting the changes that they always make.. as long as the artwork is not printed, any minute can do last minute changes.. if its just one item ok la..

imagine u're doing a big project with many items.. buntings banners flyers all using the same artwork/design.. last minute change.. dont want this letter or font or picture.. to them easy la.. aiya wat so hard. just change the thing only ma very fast. but they dunno we have to load all the artworks and change them one by one.. then save again.. if small files ok.. if big files.. takes time to load render and save.. then they complain.. "why u do things so slow wan? other ppl can do faster"

once i experienced.. final artwork everything done.. sent to printer to print already. printing halfway boss come tell me. "eh i wan change this sentence" i was like.. er.. we already send to print.. then he say "u fast fast call them dun print, then u fast fast change, then u send to them again" i was like wah liao. i have to change 16 different items one by one.. have to work overnight to finish it. zzz summore no OT

DAMN U CHINAMAN BOSSES!

ya, thats why i hate them. I went interview in 1 chinaman company. He just copy from template change a bit then resell to client. Wat the hell....That fellow is kinda in age 30's, copy and sell cheap website to client.
