I am an employee at a PC and MAC CDROM title development company in San Francisco. I am wondering what salaries, benefits, royalties, profit sharing and bonuses are industry-standard for these content developers: Programmers Senior Programmers 3D Modeler/animators (3DStudio/ Senior 3D Modeler/animators Art Directors Project Leaders Storyboard Artists Producers Artists/3D mappers Digital Video Techs I have been with the company for 4 years. We produce CDROM titles acclaimed for their high production values. We work an average of 50 hrs per week. There is no salary standard applied at our company at present, causing a lot of confusion. Is there a national standards commitee for CDROM developers? Anonymous Compuserve address: 75114,575

I also would like to hear any replies to your question. In my case, I am considering a job offer in Canada at a CD-ROM creation and system-integration company as a 2D animator. As a senior tecnical writer I make $30/hr (on contract), and I have heard that $50/hr (this is a contract job) is the ballpark (CAN newsletter) for computer animation. Yet this company has started off by mentioning a rate of $17/hr. I don't know what to make of it. (By the way, cost of living here is probably about 50% higher than down there.) I look forward to replies to this issue in general.
