It's been really interesting seeing folks share numbers from #publishingpaidme and #TabletopPaidMe. I haven't been in the industry very long, but I've gotten to see a fair bit of the back-end and I wanted to share my experience.
First, a little background. I'm a 33yo white cis man. I've got a MA and PhD in English Lit with lots of experience in the digital humanities and graphic design and an additional BA in Journalism. I started working part time on design in graduate school about 6 years ago.
When I started off, I was supporting my wife and kids on about 20k a year (the grad stipend at the time). We usually used about 5k of credit card debt each year to stay above water which we zeroed out using our tax refund. Game design didn't pay much, but it really did help.
