   minimal starting salary
  Hello all,What would be the "least" (base salary) you would work for if offered a job at a repsectable game company? Assume full time, with the usual benefits, etc..What about a "computer technician".  How much do you suppose they earn per year?[edit] oops, spelling mistake...[edited by - superdeveloper on March 24, 2004 12:17:07 PM]
  The least amount I would work for is probably oh... $20,000.   ---------------------------------------------------laziness is the foundation of efficiencyanomicworld.net | llamas! | megatokyo | gamedev.net | googleTiffany_Smith fanboy;quote:Original post by zer0wolf  The least amount I would work for is probably oh... $20,000.   ---------------------------------------------------laziness is the foundation of efficiencyanomicworld.net | llamas! | megatokyo | gamedev.net | googleTiffany_Smith fanboy  per hour   "C lets you shoot yourself in the foot rather easily. C++ allows you to reuse the bullet!";  Well, I recently agreed on £10700, for the whole of my gap year. (So, that''s for a person who hasn''t yet gone to university and has about two months prior experience in total). ;quote:Original post by superpig  ...for the whole of my gap year.What does this mean?CM ;  How long it takes to get from one cheek to the other.   ---------------------------------------------------laziness is the foundation of efficiencyanomicworld.net | llamas! | megatokyo | gamedev.net | googleTiffany_Smith fanboy;  As a programmer, a normal starting minimum would be like 40k (US$). I think artists/game designers would start lower, maybe like 35k.The typical thing to do for entry-level people is they put you on "probation", most of my friends had probations of 3-4 months, (although Intel has a probation of 9 months). So you would probably have like 40k during the probation, and then you get a decent raise when the probation is up.Dunno about "computer technician"s   [edited by - pinacolada on March 24, 2004 6:56:20 PM];quote:Original post by Conner McCloud   quote:Original post by superpig    ...for the whole of my gap year.What does this mean?CM   It's a year out generally between 6th form and university.  Some people go travelling and some people work during gap yeras.   [edited by - Monder on March 24, 2004 4:02:34 PM];  If I were to leave my current job I would have to be getting $25/hr or more. Keep in mind that I live in the S.F. Bay Area. When I lived in a cheap (cheapest in town) two bedroom apartment the rent was $1100 a month.

I plan to use the time inbetween to rack up (a) experience, and (b) cash, in anticipation of copious quantities of alchohol and student loan to be paid for. Not to mention equipment.
