What about Argentina?
Hi Benjamin, there were 32 people who responded in Belgium to all or some of the questions. This is primarily a salary survey so there is no information on pricing of services.
Jeff if you could be so kind, is there any information in it regarding Belgium? Prices etc. Very interested, but being Belgium such a small country with its own "ecosystem" I really need prices from here :) Best Regards, Benjamin
Hi Jeff, I'm interested in purchasing the survey. But i was wondering: Is there any info about Brazil in it? Wath kind of info about Brazil is in it? Thanks
Hi Rodrigo, Yes, 72 people took all or part of the survey from Brazil, so there is data there.
Hi Jeff, I'm interested in purchasing the survey. But i was wondering: Is there any info about Brazil in it? Wath kind of info about Brazil is in it? Thanks
Yes, there was enough information for Indonesia for survey results.
Dear Jeff, Can I ask the same question again? Interested but wondering whether there are any information of Indonesia in it? :) thanks
Hi Jeff, I'm interessted in purchasing the survey. But i was wondering: Is there any info about belgium in it? Thanks
Yes there is.
Hi Jeff, I'm interessted in purchasing the survey. But i was wondering: Is there any info about belgium in it? Thanks
No it was provided at the end of the survey. You'd have had to write it down, but if you email me (jmottle@cgarchitect.com) I'll cross reference with the database and send you the code.
Did the survey, how was the discount code sent, what was the e-mail and subject line?. Need to search my thousands of e-mails :).
Thanks Jeff. I'll check tomorrow my emails to find my code and i'll see how to buy the survey (pay method). See you!
Mexico has more than enough to be statistically accurate. There were 86 people who completed the survey.
I would like to buy this survey, but I don't know how much information is for MEXICO, could you help me? I know that in USA, Canada, Europe has a lot to see, but does anybody knows if theres some info about MEXICO ? Thanks a Lot!!
Is there a list of the software most used by any chance ?
Not in this one. All of the questions in this survey are listed above. A wider industry survey this year will cover those type of questions.
Ok, thank you very much, as that is important. Is there a list of the software most used by any chance ? Thanks Jeff phil
Philip, there is a lot of other demographic data in there as well, but more specifically I assume the hourly rate charged might be of interest.
Can I ask is this info of any benefit to the self employed which most of the people here are I recon. I would love to find out what I should be getting paid, but even getting clients to pay you these days is getting hard. I am referring to Ireland, when I say that. I appreciate the time you put into it, but for a large Viz company I can see the value not really the sole trader. Phil
Thank you Jeff, you're running a top notch site with top notch service here! :-)
