The first-tier cities in China are mainly Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. With the progress of society, Wuhan, Chengdu, Hangzhou, etc. are gradually rising. Whether it is the e-commerce industry or the advertising design industry, they are all catching up with Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. No matter which position it is, the salary has high and low levels, and there is no way to fix it. Whether a cooperation is finally reached depends on whether the salary is suitable and whether it is appropriate. Finding a job depends on fate. The company's culture is very important after joining the company. If you are not happy at work and cannot use your creativity and passion, it will not work. No matter how high the salary is, people will change jobs.
If you just position yourself as a graphic designer, getting 8K is already pretty good. But if you position yourself as a creative designer, there is no cap on salary, and many people can get up to 40k/month. Judging from your current works, I feel that some of your lucky works are generally good, but e-commerce mainly focuses on the aesthetic softness of the picture, visual impact, delicate expression, etc. It seems that you need to strengthen this aspect more. Look at the works of famous people and learn from them. In the picture, every visual element requires in-depth interpretation and consideration. After grasping the sense of priority and hierarchy, the carving of details is the key to e-commerce. You will definitely see many excellent design works on Zokuu or directly visit a well-known brand store of a certain cat.
The technology is good, the elements can be well integrated with light and shadow, there are details, and they are relatively harmonious and unified, which shows that the use of tools is relatively skillful. The design is almost interesting, and the aesthetic is more personal. However, these posters have no outstanding points from a visual perspective, and the style is relatively outdated. There are also many problems with visual communication. The visual hierarchy is not well thought out. The main title and selling points are almost unreadable when users browse quickly, and the most basic purpose of conveying information of the poster is lost. It mainly depends on the needs of the company. Such works can only be accepted by some Party B companies or busy Party A companies. You can get a salary of 10,000 yuan or more, but it is all earned by working overtime. Companies with a strong sense of brand and emphasis on design are reluctant to get in.
Let me, who has been working hard in the e-commerce industry in first-tier cities for more than 7 years, interviewed by all kinds of companies, and hired people myself, tell you the truth. First of all, I can’t tell much about the pictures you posted. I can only say that the design and aesthetics are at least passable. The 3C digital category has higher requirements for dyeing and finishing than the clothing category. But you don’t have to care whether you hear praise or not. What is a first-tier city? First-tier cities mean that there are many talents, but there are also many job opportunities and the demand is uneven. There is a good chance that you can find a high-paying position here based on your skills, but the same high-paying positions may not all have the same outstanding skills.
Sometimes it’s more about whether you are lucky enough to find a good company that matches your abilities. Back to business. Your biggest weakness is actually that you are still a fresh graduate and don't have much work experience. Unless your abilities and academic qualifications are outstanding and you can successfully enter a large company, you won't be able to command a high market price. Secondly, since you are working part-time, you have more work experience than young people who are simply studying, which is a small advantage for you.
Finally, how much salary you can get depends on which company and position you find. Different companies have different design requirements for different positions, and the salaries they can offer are also different. Some companies in the e-commerce industry are divided into designers and design directors, some are divided into designing pages and designing promotion pictures/main pictures and other materials. Some companies value aesthetics more, some value experience more, and some value practicality more. Fuck speed. Generally speaking, if you are looking for a fresh graduate like you, it is expected that the lower limit is 5,000 and the upper limit is 7,000, which generally does not include accommodation. After one or two years of experience, it is not a big problem to find a job for 7,000-9,000.
We are both designers and have been working in Shenzhen for three or four years. I would like to say that such a work is impossible in Shenzhen Baqian. Maybe my colleagues also see that there are many problems in the work. The key is that there are no With the support of completed projects, designers rely on their portfolios to find jobs, especially those that have already been completed. For this kind of typesetting problem, it can only be said that maybe third-tier cities or your clients or bosses don't care about these typesetting details, but it is difficult to get such a salary for such a work in first-tier cities.
Maybe I’m just a design assistant, but I still need to make a lot of changes to the picture before I can publish it, especially the details of the picture. Look at the current visual processing of major brands on Taobao and e-commerce, and the picture quality. How to deal with the issue of high-class feeling? It can only be said that if you want to reach a salary of 8,000 in Shenzhen, you still need a lot of room for improvement. After all, salary and ability match in first-tier cities. Without ability, you are destined to be eliminated by this city.
You can indeed get 8,000 yuan at your level in third-tier cities. If you want to come to a first- or second-tier city, there will definitely be more room for a salary increase if you are high-level. If you are at a general level, it may be around 8,000 to 10,000 in a second-tier city. Those who are not at the top level will not be paid too much. If the price is too high, they will recruit fresh graduates to take up the job. They are willing to work overtime and pay low wages and obey orders. For a graphic designer in Jinan who has worked in a second-tier city like this in the design industry in Jinan, 8,000 within two years is already pretty good. Anyone who can make around 10,000 in three years is considered a relatively high-level group, but of course they are not among the top. I feel that the main reason is not because of the level but because of the industry. There are too many people entering this industry now!
I graduated from Environmental Design and worked in Jinan for an average of 6,000 yuan a month in my first year. I also took care of some graphic design renderings. I still remember the first time I passed the 3D renderings and renderings of a multi-million museum. I was very happy to receive tens of thousands of yuan for construction drawing design, but in the end he didn’t give it to me. He said that I should thank him for giving me a platform for me to perform. Thank you so much~ So I resigned at that time and gave this good job and opportunity to others! In the end, we don’t know until their single signature is signed.
How much salary can e-commerce designers in third-tier cities earn in first-tier cities? Generally, designers who have just started working will only get about 3,000 yuan, and those with high skills can get about 15,000 yuan. Of course, there are also those who are very powerful and cannot be hired by ordinary people, and the price is outrageous. My classmate started out with only 1,500 a month. After changing jobs three times a year, his salary rose to more than 9,000. He was engaged in industrial product design. Most designers still work part-time at home, with prices ranging from two to three hundred to five or six thousand per picture.
Depending on what kind of design you are doing, designers in different directions have different prices. I am engaged in microwave circuit system design, and I can sign a contract worth more than 400,000 yuan for one task, but the company takes the lion's share, and I can split about 3,000 yuan. My friend who owns a construction company pays draftsmen about 200 to 300 yuan for interior decoration, about 6000 yuan for three-dimensional architectural drawings, and about 6000 yuan for structural drawings.
