Jon Garrett:

Congratulations! My application was rejected a week ago: apparently there's so many UK and European applicants that they're not taking any from North America! So kudos for breaking away from the pack.

The only question in this matter that seems relevant is whether we can persuade the person who gets this job to be willing to share inside information and rumours...

If it's a Dakka-poster Im sure he/she is aware of the moral obligation to share with the community ;-)

if I get the job I'll gladly accept donations of $100 or more to make your favorite house rules get added to the next codex or army book!

And promptly be fired your first week of work.

The door, dear fellow is over there. Please ensure it hits your arse on the way out.

I vote for gwar!

Haha, I just snorted coffee out of my nose when I read that.

If I had to guess I would guess the assistant makes between $30 and $40K a year. The lead makes $60K? Then throw in extra for for fiction novel writing.

Am I close?

I'd take a guess at around £25-27k for senior games devs, JJ on about £40k, RP and JG on about £50k. Juniors on about £20k.

So lets see:

Minimum wage ($7 USD) at around 40 hours a week earns approx 14,560 dollars (USD)

what you are stating ($20K GBP) is equal to 30K USD

Thats an ok pay raise, but does it seem a little low for someone who is actually DESIGNING the PRODUCT?
