Anonymous Video Game Level Design - Salary Survey (2021-2022)

Hi Level Designers! The goal of this survey is to increase transparency and equity around worker compensation! It is intended to be anonymous, however the answers are publicly visible, so the amount and type of information you wish to include is up to you. You can enter as many salaries, Level Design positions and official offers as you've had in the present and past years (4-5 year old data is relevant and useful - less so after that). After you complete the survey you will be redirected to the results spreadsheet, which can also be found here: https://bit.ly/3EuzIOC Please share this survey with your Level Design colleagues - it will help increase accuracy and visibility! Thank you for your contribution and time This survey was built upon the hard work from https://twitter.com/WeCanFixItInUI - give them some love!

欧美的游戏开发者正在推特晒收入，使用 #GameDevPaidMe 这个标签就能看到。
欧洲的收入要比美国低非常多，以国内游戏业的薪水去欧洲招人，可以招到非常好的人。

Looking at #GameDevPaidMe and semi-depressed at all the women/ nb who left because of studio bs. If we paid everyone more fairly, it'd be a start to retaining diverse talent.
