Industrial design wages in europe

Design Discussions design employment

Most wages are listed in dollars on forms, which mean they’re wages from the states, and I don’t think that they reflect wages over here in Europe, so leave a post stating = country, type of company, type of work, how many years in the company and how many years working in total, starting wage and your present wage in this post. Should be interesting :smiley:

i would be soooo curious to know how much designers make in italy.

oh, and i presume that in europe designers would post their net income, while in the us it’s common practice to state the gross yearly income.

…just to add, my bf got a job in Denmark right after school :

Junior Designer, working there for a year, ~ 40-45k USD
What’s left after taxes is enough to rent a small apartment and eat, pretty much.
