Re: Find out what studios pay for international workers in the States
Well, there are international students studying at (and graduating from) US schools and getting hired by studios like Dreamworks. But yeah, you still have to be good to get hired plus getting the visa. It's cool to see too how much EA is paying it's contractors on an hourly basis. I haven't see data of artists getting paid… -

http://www.h1bwage.com/ Check "employers" category, type in studio name (Blizzard, Pixar, etc.) EDIT [studio name deleted], year 2011, 'Senior Production Artist" = $100,000 Found this link via somethingawful forum thread. -
Re: Find out what studios pay for international workers in the States
At Naughty Dog we don't have the title of senior roles. Everyone, even the leads are just "Environment Artist" or "Texture Artist" and yet so many of the people here could be leads at other studios. -

How come? I mean how it's economically feasible for them when you can have people working for half the price, just in a different location? Does US really have 35% income tax? I don't really know, but sounds more like Sweden to me. -
Re: Find out what studios pay for international workers in the States
Whoa, that's pretty awesome. There is a big disparity between some companies too. I've heard of people making "Microsoft Money", but the difference between an Environment Artist at THQ (45k), Environment Artist at Naughty Dog (75k) and an Environment Artist at Microsoft (100k), is pretty staggering. -
Re: Find out what studios pay for international workers in the States
Well it's cool to know that DW counts as that sort of thing :P I wonder how they keep track of stuff like that though, like what is legitimate and what isn't.
