Publicado 2022-11-16
It's been three years since I did a similar video in 2019 when I walked through my salary history from an entry-level junior to a midway product designer.
I have changed jobs and grown in my career, so it's time to update!
Enjoy! ⚡️

Thank you so much for posting this information Femke. I just bought tickets for the Vancouver UX Awards, and I'm very much looking forward to your keynote presentation. This is the first video that I've watched on your channel, and as a UX Designer living in BC, this is possibly the most personally relevant channel that I've seen on YouTube for helping on the journey in navigating a career in UX. I will absolutely be watching every single video on your channel. Thank you in advance.

very helpful video, very insightful

Thank you. You and all your videos helped me a lot in understanding what design career is like out of China. As a matter of fact, that even made me decided to immigrate to Toronto and I am just starting to enjoy the life here!

Thanks for sharing Femke, I’ve not commented on your videos before but have been watching you for just over a year now and going back through your old videos. Your growth and your transparency is so inspiring. I’m going to be cheeky and say I would love if you would do a video on negotiating a signing bonus. Was this something Wealthsimple already offered as a company or was it a brand new concept for them? Would love to know how you even begin to bring this up and when.

Interesting to know, thanks a lot for sharing some real numbers! 😊It's hard to compare to the EU or Germany specifically, but I think we're still lacking behind in terms of salary compared to the US and Canada. Your numbers (CAD converted to €) are way higher than what you can ever expect in Germany 😄 Whenever you feel like making a salary negotiations video, I'm in hahaha

thanks for sharing. It helps to understand the value of a designer and how the salary structures are working in CANADA
