Truth be told, this question is as open as the universe itself, and if we are to be honest, a mid-level graphic designer somewhere in South America does not even reach the average of what one of the same characteristics could earn in France. or the United States, however we cannot deny that in first world countries where everything is more demanding, salaries are usually much better than in the rest of the world. Here is a good sample of how salaries are distributed between different countries in the world in eight areas of which to do graphic that include: Architecture, Design Management, Fashion, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interaction Design, Web Design and Interior Design .
The full study It was done in 2009 by the people of Coroflot and it is really very good as it was developed in multiple edges of the graphic task, however with the image that accompanies this post we can see that where the issue is really profitable is in countries such as Sweden, Switzerland and Spain where economic income exceeds the index BMI (Big Mac Index) In other words, what you earn exceeds what you buy.
What a pity Chile, among the worst welds for graphic designers, if not the worst, is ashamed compared to the rest.
And the College of Designers of Chile? Sleeping on his laurels I imagine.
Well, all wages are good except in Mexico! Here in Mexico they ask until you speak Mandarin Chinese !!!! For a full schedule that is 8 hours with 1 hour of lunch and working on Saturdays noon, minus all the tax bill that they take from you, you come earning 6 thousand pesos ... I think I'll go to Switzerland !!!!
The graph is interesting, although I don't know about Spain among the best, it would be necessary to look at it well.
I think it is fair especially if you do a good job.
I think it is fair especially if you do a good job in web design.
As my colleagues from here in Mexico say, had I known before that I was going to earn less than three minimum wages, for burning my eyelashes day and night, this career would have been my last option. Creativity and ingenuity is the essence of the best designers, if you have these two great gifts and earn a pittance, it is because you want to, your place is among the greats, take a north with the graph above and find your place, but Hurry, remember that there is no job after 35 years and less for designers.
Hey.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you have observed the graph wrong, the correspondence of names and bars is slightly displaced, for example, Spain corresponds to the bars on the right, so things change.
A greeting.
Hello Antonio;
The orange bars correspond to the salary and the red bars to the BMI index, that is to say that in places like Hong Kong the salary is well below the BMI index
what statistic do you base your research on !!
What happens is that in Chile everyone believes they are designers and everyone can have an opinion, that's why they say, so that they will earn more if I give the idea and the designer executes no more.
In my country the cost of graphic printings has become cheaper and this has made a war between some who charge 500%
of a product, for example, 1000 business cards cost a gross price of $ 25.000 Colombian pesos, they charge it at $ 100.000, I charge them at $ 50.000, and I take away the clients and increase the volume of work more than them, so some insult me but the clients need low prices because they distribute cards every day and it is money that is given to the public so they can see what they offer.
And where is Venezuela? we definitely don't have life here :(
Ecuador definitely does not appear there is nothing more to say better is to work freelands in my country want to work in an agency or studio. you earn 80% more
How income goes up: D
Are the figures you show monthly or annual salary?
