Why Are Graphics Designers So Underrated In Tech Industry?!! by TechMod(m): 2:36am On Jul 01, 2021
Graphic designers have become somewhat of a laughing stock in the tech industry, their work has been deemed less technical and it's annoying the hell out of me. Now a design can cost as low as $10. mehn its really that bad.

here's a video that sheds more light on the topic.. what do you think, lets hear your thoughts.

Lol only quack designers get 10 USD. Most of the designers get very good salaries even much more than Devs. They are the lifeblood of every project especially in this age where UI and UX is extremely important.

Even junior ui and UX designers get much higher salaries than Devs when starting out. A Dev will be getting 100 to 150k. A UI UX designer will be getting 200 to 300k.

Graphic Designers most times earn more than we developers or coders, it will shock you.

Where I worked few years ago, with all the head I was cracking coding, I learnt the lead graphic designers salary was alot bigger than mine. Even social media / campaign manager salary is big compared to developers too

A guy I know started learning UI and ux design middle of last year. He got a job paying him 4000 USD a month by January. A junior ui and UX designer. Even in Nigerian companies UI and UX designer salaries are two times that of Devs.

I think ux/ui design is more difficult than development especially for those who are more analytical than they are creative.
