I started out of school with the company, which at the time I was the 6th person, as a designer. I have been there a little over 4 years and we are now at 12 people. Before june there was a creativ director, senior designer and designer (myself). Both the CD and senior left in June, mostly because they were unhappy there. Now it is myself and a kid fresh out of school. We are currently heavily relying on freelancers

AIGA just sent me an email today on the current design salaries. I deleted it, but I'm sure it's mentioned on their homepage
