Job Title : Interior Designer
Job Description : site supervision & drawings Years spent in company : 6 months Company : Interior Design Industry : Design & built Tenure : Permanent Experience before joining : 0 Salary : RM 2k I felt 2k kind of low, no ot & commission. If I were to hop at 1 year experience, whats the salary I should be expecting. Because I supervise & control projects a lot, I've learn a lot on production but when it comes to design I've done not much here. I felt that I don't have anything to add on to my portfolio for my projects but a lot people said "many designer only know design but don't have experience on site". Is 2.5k after a year experience is what I should be seeking or I should seek higher up? Help please sifu |

QUOTE(blek @ Mar 30 2017, 02:49 PM) As a interior designer myself. Advise you to focus on design for at least two years to explore more on design, use of material. Else you will hard to get back to design after 2years of site supervising. Your creativity will dies. Since you have done 6months in the company. Continued another 6months then only make your decision. Look for company that focus more on design. Thanks for the advice. Thats what I worry the most, dying of my creativity.I started my 1st job as a designer 10years back and getting paid 1,800 after confirmation. 2k is kinda underpaid for your case. And one more thing is a contractor firm never value designer. So it's hard to get any higher at your company if you want to do design. But I realize that firm like mine is actually easy money compare to a design company. My clients are designers & I earn the most cut out of the project with the least effort. I could see this is my road to success but this isn't something I enjoy doing very much. At a dilemma. Interior designers finding client legitly just by connections while contractor have constant flow of projects. Just something that I've been thinking about. Cause its not like our company did 0 design but very less have the opportunity. Thoughts? |
