CCS graduate. 380k francs= 58k euro= $55k US plus full benefits (no car though) and 6 weeks vacation. no OT paid. before I did automotive in germany for 4 years: started at $42k, ended up at $60k incl. paid OT. full benefits and 11 weeks vacation! (6 weeks paid holiday + 5 weeks comp time) German salaries highest in Europe, so it's best to start off there and then move elsewhere.

sharing unregistered	posted 09-04-2002 02:35 PM WIRED- apparently you are not doing well. I have a BIG house on the hill in San Francisco, Benz and a bank account that supports the amount suggested in the prior reply. I hope you don't believe me and leave more business for me. IP: Logged
momknowsbest unregistered	posted 09-04-2002 07:10 PM Sharing could very well be making $340K. It would not surprise me. It can be done. If you have a studio with 5 or 10 people, it's obtainable. Do you think a person is going to employ 5 to 10 others to make $10K more than their highest paid employee. If you are paying out 60K on average from your highest to lowest paid employee, then you want to pull in $180K. That's 1440 billable hours a year at $125/hr. Then $60K for the employee, $60K for cost of doing business (rent, non-billable employees, legal, medical, benefits, computers, etc.), 60K profit. That's 60K profit per billable employee. Doable on a "TIGHTLY" run ship. IP: Logged
Kelly American Idol unregistered	posted 09-04-2002 11:03 PM My friend in NYC makes $100,000USD/yr and he's only 30 yrs old. Not that's he's ordinary or six figures is an enormous amount of greenbacks- but as a comparison: I live in Canada as a ID guy making $28,000 CDN (at BATA)which is like $2,000USD/yr equivalent right? but seriously that's about $19,000USD. Now the question is... comparing the two salaries, are we being underpaid and under appreciated? overworked? underexposed? I'm thinking of taking a Cert. General Accounting class. In 6 months I'll be making $10,000 more than i am now. Isn't that sad? even bus drivers make more than entry level ID guys. http://www.salary.com IP: Logged
