Yeah i'm from the UK so i'm working in GBP too.
AircraftKiller,
Thanks for the information, but even 40,000 USD would be too low to cover my bills etc...that's like 25K GBP
I make 45,000 GBP and i still dont live as comfortably as i like...
I live pretty close to London and the cost of living is ridiculous so it's all relative i suppose
That's (your wage) near enough a senior artist/manager level wage in the industry, but I've heard that lead artists, producers and such make up to around £55k It takes a while to get there though!
To be honest, even though the pay may be low, the fact that my job is to play video games and find bugs makes it not feel like a job at all.
