Thank you for sharing ur salary so at least we know that they are designers that get paid well!..

After I have graduated, I realize that they are 2 type of companies a designer can work in. Design Studio / ad agency / print house or Corporate Companies. I believe all the designers posted above are in a In-house dept of a corporate companies. That is why they manage to get high pay..

1. Design Studio / Ad agency / Print House
- The starting salary for a fresh grad usually starts below 2k. If your portfolio and skills are really good it can reach mora than 2k. The main focus of the company is producing design / ideas or any multimedia service. Your job is focus on just design. Working hours are like crazy.. Low benefits. But work environment is fun, creative with no dresscode.

2. Corporate Companies / Government Agencies : eg. Sime Darby, Bank Negara, Mampu, MPOB...
This companies usually have an in-house design department and just one or two position for a designer. The salaries can start between 2.5k - 4k for a fresh grad with many other benefits. You are paid high... But as a creative, working in a corporate environment with strict dresscode and guidelines may not be that fun. You will be the ONLY designer in the organization so you are expected to knoww everything and you have to do print + web + video all by yourself. Plus, if you are an executive.. you have to do other work like doing presentations, preparing budget, and many other boring non-design related jobs. To get in this organizations also need just more than design skills. Employers will look at your pointer : CGPA 3.00 and above, also your interpersonal and communications skills which many designers are lack of.

So its either work in a fun design studio where you can explore creative juices with low pay or in a strict corporate environment with high pay?

Yes, what pinkyd said is correct. For me I started off as an FA artist, work and learn my way up with countless of overtime and design amendments, before I could get to this level. I'm in my middle of 30's, but most designers with my age gets more than what I have today.

I have to agree, designers need a good communication skills too..

Just asking, are you happy of what you've been doing for the past few years?

nice

u guys are paid quiet well.

wow it seems pay isnt that bad? thought designer salary is so low..

just wondering..how come Mufasa and TS pay don have big diff even though their expericence is in big difference?

Most probably of their qualifications. Diploma need years of experience to get salary that high while a Degree can get that sort of salary even as Fresh Grad.

jobstreet mostly around 3.5k nia

Employment Level : the am the one and only one designer

....is it really that easy to get paid 3k as a graphic designer? i know this guy who got a dip in Graphic design and he only manage to find a firm paying him rm800 per month.

You still planning to stay there? don't u want to look for a new company/firm with a higher pay?

No... its not that easy. It is much harder for a diploma student to get a higher pay for his first job compare to a degree student. Plus a 3k salary needs more than just design skills... interpersonal + communication skills is a value added skill to get paid that much. You need to be able to present your ideas and give proposals than just do what you are told.

This post has been edited by pinkyd: Aug 20 2012, 03:56 PM

job interviews are going to be a pain if they test you on these. btw is it possible for graphic designers to breach the 10k per month mark by working in malaysia? just a question from my friend

Yes... job interviews are such a pain... Corporate job interviews would test. your personalities, atitude and you have to debate on certain case studies. Yes, 10k are usually a salary for managers. Means u do less design work and more on managing the creative team. You can also earn 10k as a freelance designer if you are really good in design, business ethics and managing your clients. . Again.. it comes to being organized and having good communication skills.

I like this, friends suggested going to work for in house designer then move into agency for better pay at least that's a way to gain more from agency but then again in agency, your works speak louder than you and unlike inhouse, you're cgpa and attitude speaks for you.

1.6k in Ipoh isn't exactly that bad tbh

Figure is big. My friends who are in this field unable find any that offer more than 2K.

Here is the salary report taken from jobstreet.com

Job Title : Graphic Designer
Job Desciption : Graphic Design/Stock Check/Acrylic base holder design
Years spent in company : 3
Company : In-house
Industry :Retail Electronic
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Executive, but doing my supervisors job as well since she resigned and no replacement for almost a year
Experience before joining : creative agency 2++ years
Salary : RM 3.4k include phone allowance or RM100


Feels kinda sad though. lol

Yeah, you should ask your boss can add your supervisor's salary into yours

Most likely designer salary cant/.wont reach 5 figures salary .as im in degree graphic abd digital media,shoild i reconsider my future? ?

i believe you can, depends on company and what line you are in.
interior or 3d also consider designer as well ma

Those with low pays are spending their time in the office working their asses off!
They will not have time to post here, also i think some of them do not want to post their salary here!!
Haha, I wont if my salary is very low...

yes thats what i notice, mostly these multimedia artist will make more.
guess ill better start exploring 3d/aftereffects .. etc

try not to work only for the money, if you have the interest then ok

as a matter infact im actually have interest on what
im studying and working freelance for ppl/friends.
but knowing that the pay isnt at hight stake
thinking on changing to multimedia rather thn sticking
to graphic and digital media. sad lio kerja mcm ni
payment sikit. this happens in malaysia only

outside they take this as a serious thing to
atleast advertise ur company.but not
here, company besar2 but thn designing/
art direction on the company bad.

Walao...after i saw the detail
but sad, majority get low paid.

So,since this was a salary talk for visionaries like us,I want to ask about salary negotiation.

I got a dilemma right now.The company that offered me to work under his/her design department was asking me about what I was expected for the salary+benefit regarding the work.

So,the tentative for my work is to deal with Royal Air Force military equipment like jet engine,fighter jet & system,& thing like that.Unlike most of the request he wanted me to make it as detail as possible due to the fact that my design would be integrated to the air force's simulator system,software evaluation for arms upgrading work & maintainence.It would goes under my contract of 1 year++ if accepted.

Since the nature of the project that definitely would be complex & "tight",I cant going for low wage this time around.So based on my previous salary with SG archviz company(part-time only,RM5K for all my work on viz+post production rendering+creative department each month) so I expected my salary would be around for RM8K-RM10.5K as a recommendation from the person that introduced me to the mentioned company with job.

Since I work with confidential subject,I cant specify what I would be modeling,but here the sample of what I need to do.(This sample is from my own work portfolio.)





& to be honest I didnt have any degree paper except my own experiences of self-learning & passion(I love 3d visualization,& anything that deal with mechatronic,chassis,engine & aerospace-related stuff)

I do however have a diploma in Industrial Design,but only finished foundation class & first year term before I quitted the college & get to work instead....

Well this is just from my thought. First of all it doesn't matter if you had a diploma or a degree. In your case is experience matter. It's about how detailed and efficient you worked on the project. Since you have to work on a classified project, definitely ask for 8K and above.

Another important factor is, do you enjoy the work, experience or the salary.
Otherwise no point stressing out your health and mentality.

be confident with yourself. If you think your works worth that price. Just say it out.

to be honest. I think you do worth the salary 8k++. You works is amazing and very detail. Also not everyone can do stuff like you. You have a lot knowledge in machines.

a little question..
small design studio better or big design firm better for work?
i mean the environment and salary part?

Job Title : Graphic Designer
Job Desciption : Graphic Design & Photo Manipulation
Years spent in company : 2
Company : Media Agency
Industry : Media / Communications
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Exec
Experience before joining : 3 months in an internship and a few months in non design related jobs.
Salary : RM 2.5k

Pretty blah, but it's alright for me for now. I do hope that in a year at least it'd be increased to 3. Fingers crossed

go freelance and make your own company.learn how to do business. you can get more..trust me..

another thing is depend on ur location too, salary in KL/Selangor is not same range with let sayyMelaka, N9, Kelantan, Pahang etc... lucky u guys in KL/Sel haha

The costs of living in KL/Selangor is higher. For those who have to rent a place to live is more hard to survived.

hmm yheah can be accepted... but seriously now im in melaka, salary less RM800 than when i work in KL but wht to do, need to stay wif family lol
guess u cannot buy family wif money haha

hmm.. can anyone expedite what would my salary range would be holding a degree with 18 + months of experience in advertising related industry.

i work with banner, flyers, n.cardm brochure, booklet, billboard, signage, plates, sticker, cutting sticker, gifts, standee, exhibition 3D booth truss/carpenter. and so on.

i mean what kind of position can i applied directly to? executive kind of thing?

i think if u in melaka, nothing much to be xpected...maybe as designer in advertising shop? salary RM1k+- i think...
but in KL should be around RM15xx+- my 2 cents

Design is very subjective, so does salary. Most employers refer to your last drawn salary. A good employer usually compare your design skills and work with their previous or existing designer in the company. They will then decide if your requested salary is worth giving to you.

Job Title : Graphic Designer
Job Desciption : Graphic Design
Location : Johor
Years spent in company : 3 Years
Company : In-House Department
Industry : Advertising & publishing
Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Junior Designer
Experience before joining : 2 Years
Salary : RM 2K

Is this adequate enough? Have been working as a Graphic designer before this at my previous job. But got a Junior job here because already have 2 designers. It's been 3 years. Still not bumped to senior designer.

I think qualification matters too?

My sister's profile:
Qualification: Diploma
Location : KL
Experience : Work as in-house designer in SMEs and also as designer in advertising firms for few years
Starting Salary when just graduate : RM 1K
Now : Self-employed, partner with marketing firms and do other freelancing jobs; income can easily reach more than 10k per month...

I feel that how many years a designer worked is not relevant. A designer who can design packaging, advertisements, brochures and etc, for 3 years is much better than a designer who only does logo design and page layout for 5 years.

Just my opinion, a senior designer should have at least more than 5 years working experience who can manage a design job from concept to execution of finish artwork (FA). Now days I see some companies trying to hire senior graphic designers with just only 1-3 years experience. I think this is their way to lure in fresh designers who wants to have the "Senior Designer" title with mostly not more than 2.5k - 3k salary.

Added on November 14, 2012, 7:00 pmCool, that's interesting. A designer with just a diploma will definately not get to 10K salary alone in any company in malaysia.

her last salary as an in-house designer before resigned was only 3.7k (6 months ago i think)....then she worked freelance, income can reach more than 10k, way higher than my salary as a business consultant =.=" she has never turned back since...

This post has been edited by ranul: Nov 14 2012, 09:15 PM

Well my work ranges from the types above to FA even though i havent reach 5 years at my current. I'm not actually gunning for the title per se. What i meant whas at my current company, the title bumps you the money. If i'm getting more that means my title will change. Yeah,i know right? My exp for 3 companies till now is already getting to 6 years. Worked at an ad studio first, then at a production company (printers) and now to an in house company. So i dont only know about FA, i also have the exp to execute the output form. IMHO, doesn't our design culture should also value and pay their designers for the quality / style / professionality of their work and their artworks? That's what makes our design industry a bit different from other common jobs is it? And i think that is the beauty of it also. How about you? Sorry if i am wrong. It's just my opinion on the matter.

It's quite hard to find a design company that rewards innovative and creativity. Perhaps in the 4A's ad agencies that often submit for kancil awards. Our design culture is most probably work like an elephant pay like peanuts.

Tenure : Permanent
Employment Level : Executive
Experience before joining : 6month
Salary : RM 2.2k (and i heard there's no increment for this year. Office no money. And i am rage.)

Juz to share my experience. I got 2 interview with the creative agency last week. I got a lot of advise from the interview. They said, If you're young(20++), you better get ur ass in the creative agency. Yes, the pay is not high as you expected, but you will learn a lot from agency. You will improve your skill, your detail in design and everything. And trust me, only from the agency you can achieve higher level either as AD, CD and so on. They told me they interview one graphic designer which already have 5 years experience working at Printing House/Production before. They pity him because at that age (30++), no improvement on his portfolio. Because as a designer, your exposure is very limited if you're stuck in Medai House/Printing House.

I know this is true because I'm working at Media House currently. And yes, I do see that my design is not improve a lot. Media/Printing House is a very comfort zone for designer. No stress, so urgent deadline, no staying up late and so on. But, when you already spent lets say 2-3years there,then you started to find a new job. Trust me, it's hard to get the job title as 'Senior Graphic Designer' with your current portfolio. So, now i'm thinking to make a move since im still young, 25 yo. Haha.

I think it's time to upgrade yourself and salary.

Get as much exposure in the design field, end of the day it's the knowledge and experience which gets you to a better post and salary.

i know a frez who work at printing fields for 8 years, + 2 years at decorative & souvenir design shop, basic salary below 2.4K + OT.
Now, he knew a frez who recomen him to work at visual merchandiser at Ampang point for 3.5K. He said his is the lower salary person in that department...... what i wanna express is..."IF U KNOW PINTU BELAKANG", u can get a decent job.

Those who get a good paid are usually from big company or firm. However, for you all information a fresh graduate maximum can get RM 1800 -2000 in Penang. Seen nowadays living cost is getting higher. So I dont think is enough for the fresh grad now.

sometimes, salary for ppl that have experience also not enough lor.. esp who are living in KL. (like me)

UPDATE: got a salary increase this year. plus 4 months bonus. getting RM2800 after this.

how about animators in Malaysia I wonder? No feedback from them here? Anyone?

nowadays below 3K will be really very suffer for living cost.

Below 3k for a guy to live in KL.. should be enough what erm, is it?
