Employment Conditions

Salary

The design profession places high value on the performance of individuals. A creative and responsible design staff is likely to receive higher salary. Hence, salaries may vary greatly with individuals.


Working Hours and Holidays

Working hours are normally 44 in a week, spreading over five and a half days. However, when deadlines for projects have to be met, overtime work may be required.


Working Conditions

Designers spend most of their time in drawing and preparing design proposals in the office. They also have to go outdoors to discuss with their clients about project requirements, costs and constraints, or conduct site inspection. Some designers have to go overseas for meetings and discussion of design proposals.
