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

I'm finally going into a rather well respected Creative/Advertising Agency and eventhough I'll be paid the same as my current company pays me, here's how I look at it. Similar pay but: Room to grow, experience, increments (yeah, I didn't think I was gonna get one where I am now), International Exposure to Advertising, I'm young so this better be the time when I slave like a dog so I have a more relaxed future.
I'm just worried as to what "Agency Life" is and why people tend to leave.
Salary wise, it scares me to see so many freshies being paid 1.5k. Is that the going rate? I was offered 1.8 when I started :/

QUOTE(NeoMnemonic @ Sep 2 2013, 11:00 AM) Agency Life is the most happening place to work...  Just don't think about a work life balance and everything should be ok. I assume your salary is based on your portfolio that you presented to your employer. A well managed portfolio should get you a higher salary. Yeah but they did ask me for a salary range and their excuse was "We'll pay you according to your years of experience." (Which in this case is 3 years) So let's see. Gets my resume all shiny anyway
