2005-2008: 30k CHF pa - telecom support and later as implementation engineer (Eastern-EU
2008-2012: 50k CHF pa - telecom consultancy (Eastern EU)
2012 - 130k CHF (moved to CH) - Operations engineer, telecom
2013: 135k CHF - senior ops engineer, banking
2014: 125k CHF - deployment engineer (small CH company, was a total flop)
2015 - 2019: 150k - sports events mgmt (IT)
2020: 155k - big4 internal IT with 125% load
2021: 145k - project mgmt in a more relaxed IT company
I wonder what one needs to break the 150k limit, let alone 200k. That seems to be the ceiling for many industries until team leader (director for 200k) status. Is the only way forward to get a department lead position (without contracting)?
