Is it even possible to live in LA for $45k?

Wow, even in Western and Central NY a job like that would pay $60k+

Haha...yes it's very possible to live in LA for $45k.

Plus, the $45k is a pretty generous base pay considering how easy the job is...and we include quarterly bonuses...our last designer was making just over $60k and he was terrible!

$45k is a pretty generous base pay considering how easy the job is...and we include quarterly bonuses...our last designer was making just over $60k after his bonuses and he was fucking terrible!

I was offered $8/hour in Hawaii for same position.

Based on this months conversions I should have taken it. :(



:1orglaugh

goodluck for that... lucky designer

too bad to me

Sounds like a decent position for someone.

Yea, its actually not too bad at all...
The designer would be working as the only male in an office with 3 cute females...which is not bad thing to come to work to every morning!

Anybody out there??

what does the job entail? Designing paysites, or just anything and everything?

What is the reason that you only want table-less HTML?

Just curious.

I still don't see living in LA for $45k, what does a decent apartment go for in the Valley?

if you rent your apartment, pay your bills, foods, transportation, and tax (is it taxable?) i would imagine how 3k a month would go. maybe a few bucks for beers left

"Hey Mom! Is your basement still empty?"

:2 cents:

Singing???

The Fat bitch is HOWLING!!*

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

* Disclaimer : Neither "Howling" or "bitch" is in reference to said fat lady singing above;
but does actually refer to the inferred economic reality.

if you live in a dumpster

You can live in LA for 45k, i've done it.

45k in LA is decent especially if you're single and know where to live (for example NOT hollywood)

but yeah for all that, the money is a little low. i fit the description almost 100% but i'm indie now :winkwink:

great position, almost tempting!
