I do not know? unregistered	posted 03-14-2001 08:45 AM At least on this string we can see the info posted and judge which posts were obviously false. The new income survey does not have anyway for us to trust or distrust the posts, and there is no real info given for us to compare jobs, and the type of work being preformed. There have been some good genuine replys HERE (even if mared by the odd kid being stupid, but those posts are easy to spot). I would like to see people to continue to contribute honestly to both these posts, but in particular this string. IP: Logged

singatraz unregistered	posted 03-16-2001 03:31 AM Australian ID degree. 1 year ID experience. Sole ID guy in a small design and engineering startup in Singapore. Concepts 30%, alias 50%, pro/e 20%. S$43000 sing dollars a year, USD$25000/year equiv. 5% tax ain't bad but this is a small, small place. Like all the other aussie posts I have read, I agree, the pay and industry in Australia is small. Singapore is not great either but their is alot of manufacturing here. Guess I am using this as a springboard to the next thing. Probably head to the US next. Any hints any one? IP: Logged

Boston Design Manager unregistered	posted 03-17-2001 10:40 PM I am an industrial designer with 6 years of experience. I have been a consultant since graduation. I have 4 years of project management and now manage the design team at a twenty person design firm. I made: 26K in '95 28K in '96 32K in '97 36K in '98 38K in '99 54K in '00 (design manager) 54K for a project manager in the Boston area isn't bad, but for a manager of ID it's light. I am trying for more, believe me!!! IP: Logged
boston design manager unregistered	posted 03-18-2001 08:17 AM How many people are your responsible for--do they report to you. Trying to get a feel for your responsibilities and duties. Proposal writing, quotes, profit & loss responsibility, new business development. Do you report to the owner directly or to a VP of Design. Sounds light to me--I would think a Design Manager would be 80K. Especially in Boston. Good luck. IP: Logged
Sorry unregistered	posted 03-18-2001 08:18 AM Sorry for the confusion--Meant to ask Boston Manager... IP: Logged
