Just wondering whats a good estimate for a intermediate level Web Designer. I have about 2 years official experience in the field and am a student in college pursuing my Computer Science Web Development degree.
I went to a job interview last week for a Web Designer job with a .com company and out of 80 Resumes/portfolios only 6 made it through to the interview stage. Out of those 6 interviews, Well needless to say, they picked me for the job.
I go in for another interview this week to discuss salary and other stuff, so whats a good offer for me to throw out there?
I'v seen varied salaries for web designers, and I don't wanna ask for too much and have them go with there number 2 guy. But I also don't wanna cheat myself out of a fair paycheck.
I would basically be designing and finishing full websites for tons of new local buisnesses, probebly cranking out a website a day. Working full-time as well, with benefits after a 30-90 day probation period.
Any ideas? I was gonna suggest 15$ an hour, but have seen as low as 12$ and as high as $20+. Also I would be the first and only web designer in this branch of the company for awhile, eventually hireing as much as 12+ full time designers, so I'll be the most senior guy in the design branch.
Anyone work in this field or have freinds that do?
Oh yea, It's a San Diego based job so salary should reflect the cost of living here.
Any suggestions appreciated!
