[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8413035, member: 6779310"] THe recent WotC solicitations don't list salary nor wage ranges on the sites I've found them on... but they used to. A starting salary last I checked was somewhat above minimum at 40hrs/week... noting that Seattle's minimum wage is higher than national levels. (Currently $16.69/hr, [URL="http://www.seattle.gov/laborstandards/ordinances/minimum-wage"]Minimum Wage - LaborStandards | seattle.gov[/URL], so $34,715.20 assuming 40-hours a week, 52 weeks a year, counting paid vacation time) In 2003, Washington State minimum was $7.01/hr, and AFAICT, Seattle wasn't above it at the time, for $14,590.80.) SO he was, about 2.5× minimum while at WotC, and now is only about 1.5× minimum for Seattle... but I don't know how wide the raised minimum of Seattle applies. Current washington state minimum is $14.49, for $30149.20... all fo these are off by a day's work, and don't account for unpaid leave, nor employee not having to pay into their health insurance (which lowers Seattle small employer pay minimum).) For a number of Kickstarters, it's not that much more for the dead tree, and there are other bits in the core that make it worthwhile.
