I'm currently negotiating a salary for a Senior Visual Designer Salary. I'll be relocating from the US to Europe. the national average is currently 95-130k. Anyone got any tips for negotiation? What do?
Ask for the amount you want (or slightly higher) and be prepared to justify it, or perhaps go slightly higher than you would settle for just in case they try and beat you down. In my area (branding/packaging, London) an average senior salary is probably £40-45k. Without knowing exactly what field you're going into or where, at a senior level you'd normally be expected to be able to lead projects, present work to clients, manage and motivate younger team members, show a wider interest in design/craft beyond the scope of your day to day work and have a solid understanding of strategy. If you can do/have done most of that stuff and can cite some examples then you'll have a pretty good case. Also, if you're coming from the US - most agencies here would be keen to work with clients from your side of the pond, so maybe emphasise the fact that you have strong insights into that market to increase your value.

Thanks Anon. She asked me for how much I'm currently making $45 an hour. Hopefully they'll try to beat it. I found they're salary's on glassdoor and it's from 99k-135k for Senior Designers.

What is visual designer anyway? Expect £45k as a ceiling in London, £35k everywhere else.
Depends on the country in Europe OP.
In Germany/NL average-high is 35-50k.
In USA you get more because you have to pay for more yourself - healthcare, etc.

Doesn't the employer provide free private healthcare, vision and dental in the USA?
