[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8485011, member: 6879661"] The most common reason for not posting a salary is that it will depend entirely on experience and skill and they don’t want to put off applicants that might otherwise command a higher range, nor set unreasonable expectations for candidates at the bottom of the range. Let’s be honest WOC is not going to be short of designer applications and not because of sentimentality or pure love of the game. Anyone serious about working in TTRPG is going to want to work in an industry titan, make the contacts one would make there, and see how the sausages are made up close. Not to mention have your name on products that are bought by millions of people, rather than thousands. It seems like the majority of really big household names in our industry, made that name either through or after working on D&D. Now this may not be an option if you’ve made it far enough to be comfortably set up on your own without it. Potentially with your own company and no longer willing to go in as a designer. I would imagine this is a rare few people. The job still represents an amazing opportunity which ever way you cut it. On a side note, I thought we had seen from various blogs and twitations that WOC paid substantially more than other companies and we were remarking that WOC wasn’t typical because it was the industry giant. I’m not sure what the justification for assuming the job won’t be fairly compensated is? [/QUOTE]
