TheGame Career Guideshows us the results ofGame Developer’ssixth annual survey of game industry salaries.
There’sseven pagesof results and bar graphs for you to go through, but here are the highlights:
While programmers had the highest average pay, that came only after some years of experience were put under their belts. Producers had the highest pay and bonuses, but the average pay comes out to a bit less than programmers. Artists and animators make a bit less than the rest of the guys, but those with even less than 3 years experience are still pulling in a respectable average of over $42,000. Not bad. Those poorgame testersmake the least, but there’s some hope for those to make it to a QA lead position.
