Hi kemosabe, thanks for your answer.
Totally not, I studied media informatics in Germany, which has some overlaps to “design” which is called communication design in this case.
I know several people working in this Area. It’s 2k gross / 1,3k net at the start. And it wont ever raise except you’re a top freelancer or prove so good that you can work for BMW (or similar) and earn a whopping 3k/month gross. This is 100% accurate.
Edit: For clarification, I don’t say that this is a fair wage nor do I propose that this WG cuts their monthly salary as low as $2.1k/month on average. These are just numbers / facts meant for comparison.
Also, as I mentioned these are full-time wages. These jobs do not allow side jobs. So one question that raises is: will they work full-time on this project or not? Hence this is a tough budget request. Their introduction sounds like they have, and will continue to have, a lot of side projects. Maybe I’m wrong though.
Edit2: Also they might intend to work more than full-time (which is capped at 48hrs/week in Germany, but usually 40-42h/week - except for freelancers) like some members of the CAWG obviously do (just a guess, but they push up to 16h/day, 7days a week - relentless). This would justify way higher wages of course.
Edit3: After learning this First DAO Funding, I think the DAO has plenty reserves for now to reward committed Teams generously - very generously even - for them to be motivated to push harder and explore their limits of creativity. And also to attract more talent into the DAO (new WGs). If they succeed this is quite a leap for the project, marketing is key to quite a lot of things afaik.
Anyways, for success quality standards must be set and met. If they made jup.eco that’s a big plus. 
They didn’t?
I totally agree, and I also expect this Group to be capable of doing so. Maybe they can clarify how they plan to “streamline” designs and create consistency because their proof of work so far (even if it is great stuff!) doesn’t explain this, nor does this proposal.
Cheers!
