Before we sign off,

IGDA Salary Survey 2010

We're doing the next round of salary surveys so help us out by filling it in. These help everyone see how the industry is going, and what we in the IGDA can do to help you guys.

We'll do a talk about the survey results in January or Februrary, and post up a PDF with the key data on the IGDA website.

The survey is available HERE: http://t.ymlp186.com/jmaramwhapaqqapaejq/click.php.

Do share it with co-workers who might not be on the mailing list; the more responses we get the more useful the data will be.

Finally.. If you know people who should be on the IGDA list but aren't..

If you know anyone who's not receiving these newsletters, thus missing out on the fun, they can subscribe HERE.

Thanks!
