When I was right out of school, I did a test for a studio. After my test was finished, they offered me a job. They offered me $600 a week for an animation job, and told me it was a fantastic rate, because other studios were only paying $500 a week. I was lucky that I had another offer for $850 a week, or I might have jumped at the chance. I had friends in the studio so I knew they often put in overtime. 600 a week divided by 50 hours, that adds up to about $12 an hour. I was lucky I had that knowledge and didn’t take that job.
