> [@MUFC\_OK](#): > > Engineering and management are two completely different career paths and no engineer should be forced to move to management to get a higher salary. Highest (middle) management salary braket should be equal to highest salary for best engineers. A good engineer != good manager and you might let them waste their talent in one field to struggle in another. That might work in an IT/tech company. But in other industries (which do rely heavily on the same IT/tech), oftentimes there is simply no “technology ladder” to climb, but the only way up is to take people management roles. Sad but true. ---

Job change this year, no significant salary increase, but drastic improvement in quality of life (less time wasted in transportation and better working conditions/ambiance). Projected salary for 2023: ~109K; no bonus or extra. Male early 30s, BBA. Maybe I could detail my progression from ~60K to ~109K in 10 years. I’ll take the time to detail it on occasion. ---
