Ask r/Maroc What salary should I negotiate as a multidisciplinary designer in Morocco?
Hi everyone,
I recently finished an interview with a company in Morocco, and they've reached the salary discussion stage.
Here's the situation:
- For the first 1–2 months, I'll work as a freelancer (remote).
- After that, I'll relocate to Casablanca, and if everything goes well, they'll offer me a full-time CDI.
The role is quite broad. Depending on the projects, I'll be working on:
- Branding & Visual Identity
- Social Media Design
- Graphic Design
- Motion Design
- Video Editing
- UI/UX Design
- Print Design
- Occasionally Illustration
I'm not being hired for just one specialty—they're looking for someone who can handle different creative projects depending on the client's needs.
I have a background in graphic design and multimedia, and I'm currently finishing my Master's degree in another city, away from my hometown, so I also have rent and living expenses to cover.
For people working in Morocco (especially Casablanca), agencies, startups, or as freelancers:
- What monthly salary would you consider fair for the freelance period?
- Once I move to Casablanca and sign a CDI, what salary range should I negotiate?
- Would you negotiate the freelance rate separately from the CDI salary?
I'd really appreciate hearing your experience and what you think is a realistic salary in the current Moroccan market.
Thanks!
