What salary can a graphic designer expect working in Oslo, Norway?
-
How much can a graphic designer with 4 years of experience expect to earn in a full-time position in Oslo, Norway? I find it hard to get an idea of what a good salary is in Oslo given the fact that both the cost of life and the minimum salary are high. I have the feeling that: - it would be a shame to come to Norway to work for under 500.000 NOK for someone who has studied 5 years then worked 4 years - 600.000 NOK is the minimum for someone who currently earns about $70.000 (425.000 NOK) in a western European country. - more than 700.000 NOK would start to be a very good salary (All values are before-tax.) Any answer regarding related professions (architect, other sectors of design) would be welcome too! Thank you.

Answer:
I wouldn't agree that it "would be a shame" to come to Norway to work for under 500.000. It depends on what kind of experience you have and what kind of company you'd like to work in. When Grafill, which is a union for graphic designers, did a survey i 2010, among the full-timed employed graphic designers (156 asked) 40% made between 400.000-500.000, and 31% made less than that. 11% earned more than 600.000. Source is here, page 16: http://www.grafill.no/uploads/lonnsundersokelsen_2010_web.pdf (500.000 in 2010 equals 520.962 in todays value)

It seems like you already know what you expect, although your expectations may be a tad high, at least in Oslo and especially if you don't speak Norwegian. I have a Master's in Computer Science (6 years at top 5 university in the US) I have 9 years of experience and I just moved from a Senior Consultant role at a good company to a System Architect role at a great company. My salary will increase from 620,000 plus bonus to 700,000 plus bonus (about 10% annual bonus). I would tone down my expectations or reconsider moving to Norway if I had four years experience, an unspecified degree, and unspecified Norwegian proficiency.
