Am I underpaid as a video editor? €600/month for all of this work
I’ve been working for a company as a video editor for about 2 months. Before this job, I only edited videos as a hobby, so this is my first professional editing job.
I’m paid €600/month, and I’m wondering if I’m being underpaid considering everything I’m responsible for.
For each video, I basically handle the entire process:
Research the topic
Come up with content ideas
Find/write the script
Create the voiceover
Find/create the visuals
Edit everything in Premiere Pro and After Effects
Add subtitles, effects,motion graphics, sound design, etc.
Make the thumbnail
Upload the video
Write the YouTube description
Add tags/metadata
Each video takes me around 5 hours, and I’m expected to produce around 2 videos per day.
I understand that I’m relatively inexperienced professionally, even though I have experience with Premiere Pro and After Effects from editing as a hobby.
Is €600/month reasonable for this workload, or am I being significantly underpaid?
I’m mainly staying because I want the professional experience, but I’d like to know what a fair market rate would be once I have more experience.
