I’m looking for advice on where to find data on average compensation for a Design Manager. Normally, my first stop would be the coroflot salary survey Design Salary Guide | Coroflot, but I can’t figure out how to access the 2009 results while the 2010 data is being crunched. I am working in Toronto, Canada and have searched the ACIDO, ACID, and DX sites with little success.
A brief background on my situation is as follows: I have a BID, I am working in-house in the softgoods industry, I have been working for my current employer for 5 years as a product designer, I would have 5 direct reports as a Design Manager and I would report to the Director of Design & Development. I want to be able to negotiate a compensation package for my new position that is fair given the experience that I can bring to the role. If anyone can advise typical salary + bonus levels for this type of position (my health/retirement benefits are already satisfactory) or direct me to an online resource to reference, I would really appreciate the help. In the meantime I will continue to Google…
Thanks in advance.
