FYI ---Shutterstock's salary ranges from $77385 in total compensation per year for a Marketing at the low-end to $434160 for a Product Designer at the high-end.  They make almost what the microstock folks make that feed them the images!

I bet they don't get reset to base salary every January.

You're right they get a pay raise each January instead of a reset like us --guessing around 5% to 10%.  :-\

I didn't follow the link but I remember the game lounge, the salad bar, and all kinds of perks at the New York offices in the Empire State Building. Some people have actually been invited in to see the place. I don't know what it looks like now.

That makes me wonder what will happen, when Getty tightens the belt on expenses. "Shutterstock is headquartered in New York. In October 2013 Shutterstock opened its new European headquarters in Berlin, Germany and by March 2014, Shutterstock had additional offices in Amsterdam, Chicago, Denver, London, Montréal, Paris and San Francisco. After maintaining its New York headquarters for years in a Wall Street office, in March 2014 Shutterstock relocated into the Empire State Building. "

This will likely end up the most upvoted post of the year, if not all time!  ;D

Sadly knowing all of this and we still submit images getting $.10 each while the employees are living the American dream and the owner sails the seas in his large yacht. I feel like I am nothing more than a cheap hooker on the street  :(

Unlike my SS contributor dashboard I can see lots of straight Caucasian males wandering around the premises, how disgusting.

No salary at all, since you don't have to pay bots...
